A new World's Oldest Dog has been named by Guiness World Records and it's Otto, a dachshund-terrier mixed dog who lives in England. Otto is 20 years and 8 months old. His owner, Lynn Jones of Shrewsbury, England has had Otto since he was six weeks old, reports the Daily Mail.


Though nearly 21 with a touch of arthritis, Otto "doesn't really like walkies any more," Jones told the Daily Mail. "He gets about ten yards down the road then looks back over his shoulder as if to say 'I want to go home.' [But] he can still jump all over people when they come round."
 

What is Otto's secret to longevity? "Plenty of love, plenty of good food and regular check-ups at the vets," Jones told the Daily Mail.
