Some sad news: The oldest known dog in the world, Chanel, has passed away. The 21-year-old wire-haired dachshund was certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the first to be honored for her longevity. Chanel lived with her human, Denice Shaughnessy, even during 9 years of military service in Germany.
However, a dog in New Iberia, La., is vying for the crown. Janelle Derouen's dog Max is allegedly 26, and the Guinness people are in the process of vetting Max's records now. If confirmed, Max will be the new record-holder.
