Doug Percival and Sammy, the oldest Yorkie around!

Yorkshire terrier Sammy is 23-years-old which makes him two
years older than the current canine world record holder.

The pensioner pooch has had half his teeth out and can barely see or hear.
But owner Doug Percival, 73, has only had to take him to the vets
ONCE since he got him as a two-year-old pup.

He puts his longevity down to them looking after each other and
twice-weekly treats from the fish and chip shop.

I stumbled across your blog while searching the term "worlds oldest yorkshire terrier" and I'm in heaven! I can't wait to get reading and catch up on your previous posts :) I have a yorkie named Sir Samuel and he's 15 years, 6 months and 9 days old. He has owned me since he was 4 months old and I can't imagine life without him...Your post on 23 year old Sammy made my day and has left me hopeful that Sir Samuel and I may have a little more time to spend together than I thought :)
