Britain's oldest dog dies at age 23˝

Britain's oldest dog has died at the age of 23 and a half – over 100 in human years – after living on the same diet as her owner.

Jack Russell Daisy was a stray rescued at the age of two from a shelter in 1993 by Mark Barsby-Finch, 50, and the family pet never had to eat dog food again.

Mark said: "She was with us all these years and we'll miss her terribly.

"It's going to be difficult to get used to cooking for just the two of us now, Daisy used to have exactly what we ate."

She was officially recognised as the nation's most elderly pooch and died last week peacefully in her sleep at home in Bishop's Cleeve, Glos, six months from her 24th birthday.

Well she certainly had a good innings.

They could of phrased the title a little more carefully though.....

True Phil - and I am not sure how much good the diet has done for Daisy's owner.

But yes, she had a good innings and was no doubt happy during that innings, whether she was correctly fed or not.

Sometimes happiness is more important than correctness.

I was just meaning that the way it was worded implied that after all those years she died after eating her owners diet lol
