... and many more

Here's to Max.

The world's oldest dog.

According to this article in the Daily Telegraph in the United Kingdom, the terrier mix lives in New Iberia, La., and has a birth certificate from his vet proving his age: 26. Guinness World Records is checking Max out.

But Max is still in fine health and only suffers from mild arthritis and some cataracts. His secret, says Janelle (Derouen, his owner), is not worrying about anything at all.

"He's a very, very laid back dog," said Janelle.

"He likes to lie down, relax, nap, sleep a lot and keep life simple. He'll play with the kids for a bit but if they bother him too long he'll wander off."

And you can see from the picture with the article, not everyone can wear a hat.

Congrats, Max!
