Toby Keith’s birthday is on January 9. He is more than 21 years old now. Guinness World Records(吉尼斯世界纪录) said he is the oldest dog alive. “People can’t believe how good he looks for his age,” the old dog’s owner(主人), Gisela Shore, said.

Shore took him home from an animal shelter(收容所) when he was just a few months old. “I was a volunteer(志愿者) then. A worker told me that an elderly couple(老年夫妇) wanted to give up a dog because they could not take care of him any longer,” said Shore. “I met with the elderly couple. And they took me to see a little Chihuahua(吉娃娃). His name was Peanut Butter. But I later named him Toby Keith.”

Toby Keith’s day starts with a morning walk, then his favorite food: turkey. He goes on a few more short walks and lies(躺) next to Shore while she is working.
