Spike’s owner found him abandoned at a grocery store back in 2009. Today, the world’s oldest living dog enjoys spending time with the grandchildren and indulging in his favorite chips.
The dog was 23 years and 43 days old as of Dec. 7, 2022, standing at 9 inches tall and weighing just 12.9 pounds, GWR said.
"The clerk in the grocery told us he had been there for three days, and they were feeding him scraps," Kimball told GWR. "We opened the car door to put our grandson in his car seat, and Spike jumped right in and sat on the seat as if he knew where we was [sic] going. It was meant to be."Almost 14 years later, Spike has remained a beloved member of the family and has "never met a stranger.
"In his early years, he loved Doritos," Kimball recalled. "He liked them crunched up and would eat the cheese Doritos every time we had them."Spike has survived multiple attacks from other animals throughout his life, and despite being given a low chance of survival, has fought to come back stronger each time, according to Kimball.
