世界上最老的狗离世
The Kelpie Maggie, the world’s oldest dog, died while asleep in her basket on Sunday night. Maggie belonged to(属于) an Australian dairy farmer Brian McLaren and she was 30 at the time of her death. According to McLaren, Maggie had been happy and healthy up until two days before her death.
“She was still going along nicely last week,” McLaren told local newspaper The Weekly Times. “She was walking from the dairy to the office and growling(咆哮) at the cats and all that sort of thing.”
Though McLaren doesn’t have any birth certificates for Maggie, he argues that he bought her four years. The oldest dog in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, died in 1939 at the age of 29. Bluey worked as a farm dog, looking after sheep and cattle. Because Maggie doesn’t have any paperwork, Guinness was unable to verify(核实) her age.
The average dog lives about 15 years. Maggie was deaf and going blind at the time of her passing. “I’m sad, but I’m pleased the way she left,” McLaren told The Weekly Times.
