“Oldest dog living - TobyKeith at 21 years 66 days old,” they wrote while posting the video. The clip shows the adorable creature’s pet parent sharing more about him.

“TobyKeith is a chihuahua and is owned by Gisela Shore (USA), who describes him as "sweet, gentle, loving and my little bodyguard. " She has always made sure to feed her dogs a balanced diet of proteins, vegetables and rice, but still never thought he would one day be the oldest living dog in the world when she first adopted him!” reads a part of a blog that the organisation posted about this dog’s record.

“On achieving the record, Gisela said ‘I love the recognition of knowing that he has had a healthy long life with me as his mommy. We adore him so much and achieving this record is testimony of the loving home we have provided for him. Tobykeith is such a blessing. I am so lucky to still have him in my life,” they also shared.
