The oldest dog logged in the Guinness Book of World Records was Bluey, a Queensland, Australia, dog who lived for twenty-nine years and five months. Translated into human years, that's probably close to 150 years of age. Vigorous for many years, Bluey worked as an active sheep and cattle dog for over twenty years.
