The world’s oldest dog, a Toy Fox Terrier named Pebbles, died Monday at her home in Taylors, South Carolina, surrounded by her family. Just five months away from her 23rd birthday, Pebbles died of natural causes.

“She spent her days enjoying country music and being loved,” Pebbles’ family said in a statement Tuesday. “Pebbles was not just another dog, she had her own way about her and her own personality.”

Pebbles set the Guinness World Record for oldest living dog on May 17, when she was 22 years and 50 days old.

3. World's oldest "living" dog?

What a bizarre appellation.

The world's oldest "living" dog is not dead and has not died. Obviously, to be the world's oldest "living dog", the dog cannot be dead.

It's simpler to say, "The world's oldest dog has died" since it pretty much goes without saying it was alive up until it was no longer alive.

The world's oldest living dog is ALWAYS alive. It may not be the same dog, but I'm pretty sure that the world's oldest living dog, the world's youngest living dog, and all of the living dogs between, are alive.
