The oldest dog in Poland or possibly in the world, has just celebrated his 25th (or 26th – it’s not certain) birthday.
The story of Miniuś, a mixed breed, comes from animal aid foundation Zwierzęta i My in the mid-western city of Poznań. Miniuś was a two-year-old stray when he was taken in from an animal shelter by his first owner. When she died and he was found guarding her body, he was taken over by the Foundation and found a new home.
His current owner says that Miniuś, in spite of his age, is in good condition but best likes to sleep.
Poland’s oldest dog is one of the inspirations behind the Foundation’s campaign for homes for older animals. (ek)
