“I’ve taken great care of him over the years and he is still in relatively very good shape… and really cute still which is surprising considering his age!” Alex told the records site.

Notably, the record was previously held by Pebbles who passed away aged 22 years 187 days. The record then briefly went to TobyKeith in October 2022.

Meanwhile, as Gino ages, he now “lives a life of leisure”, informed Alex. “He used to enjoy walking around the neighbourhood on his own, but his vision has gotten worse over the years, so Gino now likes to be rolled around in a wagon,” he mentioned.

As far as his diet is concerned, Alex informed that Gino loves “boiled chicken and carrots with rice”. But due to some gastrointestinal issues, Gino also eats special, renal-supporting dog food.

To drink, Alex makes Gino a very special concoction: goat’s milk with sprinkled pumpkin powder and fish oil.

“He’s never had cleaner stool in his life,” Alex revealed further stating that Gino’s vision and hearing aren’t what they used to be. “He also has a tumour in his adrenal gland which continues to be closely monitored,” he informed.

“I’m so grateful for the journey we’ve had together through good times and bad. I look forward to however much time we have left together, which hopefully is a long, long time!” Alex expressed.
