Meet Skippy, a 26-Year-Old Border Collie Who Is the “Oldest Dog in Ireland”
Pet owners wish that their beloved furry friends would live forever, but they know that all good boys and girls will eventually cross the rainbow bridge. Patrick Geraghty, however, has been able to, so far, stave off this sad fact with his dog Skippy. At 26 years old, the Border Collie is thought to be the oldest dog in Ireland (where the two reside) and one of the oldest canines in the world.
