The owners of a 20-year-old golden retriever named Augie believe she’s the oldest dog of her breed.

Jennifer and Steve Hetterscheidt celebrated Augie’s birthday on April 24 at home in Oakland, TN, CNN reported.

The Hetterscheidts adopted Augie when the dog was 14.

The GoldHeart Golden Retrievers Rescue in Maryland wrote on Facebook that the dog is the “oldest known, oldest living” golden retriever.

“There’s nothing to not love about her,” said Jennifer Hetterscheidt. “She’s happy doing something and happy doing nothing.”

At first it was just an idea: Animal supplements needed the same quality control that human-grade supplements receive. But that was enough to start a movement and an organization —the National Animal Supplement Council — that would be dedicated to establishing a comprehensive path forward for the animal supplements industry. In this Media Spotlight interview, NASC’s president, Bill Bookout, talks to PETS+ interviewer Chloe DiVita about the industry today: Where it’s headed, what’s the latest focus and why it’s vital to gain the involvement of independent pet product retailers.
