World oldest dog

Last year, I read English newspaper. And I found a very impress a news story. So I will introduce about it. The title is “World’s oldest dog dies in Tochigi Pref”.

UTSUNOMIYA－The world’s oldest dog has died in Sakura, Tochigi Prefecture, at the age of 26 years eight month－equivalent to 125 human years－his owner said.

 Pusuke, certified Guiness World Records as the world’s oldest living dog last year, died Monday at his home, owner Yumiko Shinohara said. Pusuke is believed to have died of old age.

 The old dog was born at the home of one of Shinohara’s relatives in March 1985 and was registered as a pet on April 1 that year.

 In 2008, he suffered serious injuries after being hit by a car. A vet told Shinohara it would be difficult to save Pusuke’s life, but the dog underwent successful surgery.

 In December 2010, Pusuke was certified by Guiness World Records as the world’s oldest living dog, breaking the previous longevity record of 21 years three months.

 According to Shinohara, Pusuke’s physical condition took a sudden turn for the worse Monday. The dog did not eat breakfast, which had never happened before, and died quietly at about 1:30 p.m., surrounded by Shinohara and her family.

 Shinohara, 42, said Pusuke looked fine and normal until the previous day. “I was with Pusuke for 26 years and I felt as if he was my child. I thank him for living so long with me,” Shinohara said.

I read this news story. I was very surprised because the dog “Pusuke” lived to be 125 years old (equivalent to 125 human years). It was so wonderful. He had been hit a car, but he lived longer. And I felt that the owner is very grate owner. Pusuke is proud of Japan. I wanted to meet him at once.

I had two true parrots last year. But they were dying. I kept them when I was an elementary school student. Their names are Momo and Kago. They were so cute. Momo lived to be about for 10 years old. I like him. I can’t meet them now. But it was a good memory. I like to play with animals. If I have a chance, I want to keep some pets in near my future.
