Meet Lazare, the French spaniel who could be named world's oldest ever dog
"Lazare is believed to have been born on December 4, 1995, leading the Societe Protectrice des Animaux to contact the Guinness Book of Records. There can be no doubt, Lazare is in his 31st year."
"Lazare has several health issues including being arthritic, slightly deaf, visually impaired and has an issue with his tongue, which permanently hangs out of his mouth."
"Ophelie Boudol, Lazare's new owner, said: 'I adopted him because I love animals and there was an instant bond between us. It was unthinkable for me that he should end his life at the Spa.'"
Lazare, a rescue dog born on December 4, 1995, is believed to be in his 31st year, prompting the Societe Protectrice des Animaux to contact Guinness World Records. Previously, Bluey, an Australian cattle dog, held the title of the oldest dog at 29 years. Lazare has several health issues, including arthritis and visual impairment. He was rehomed after his previous owner died, and his age was verified through his microchip and the French pedigree dog register. His new owner, Ophelie Boudol, emphasizes her love for animals over the record.
