Chanel, the world's oldest dog, celebrated her 21st birthday on Wednesday with a certificate from the Guinness Book of Records and a visit to a dog hotel and spa.
The dachshund, a rescue dog from Port Jefferson in New York, wore an orange sweater and red goggles as her owner, Denice Shaughnessy, accepted the award marking her longevity.
"Chanel is the Guinness world record holder for the oldest living dog," said Jamie Panas, a spokeswoman for Guinness.
The record authority reviewed a veterinarian's certificate, statements from four witnesses and photographs to verify Chanel's age, Panas explained.
Chanel became the world's oldest dog following the death of Butch, the 28-year-old former record holder, in 2003.
Though visibly nervous and shaking at times, Chanel posed for photographers as she sat on a red mini-sofa.
Shaughnessy said Chanel tires quickly, wears goggles for cataracts when she is in the sun, and booties to cushion a benign tumor on her hind leg.
"I just take good care of her," said Shaughnessy, 51, who cares for Chanel with her husband, Karl. "I treat her like a person."
Shaughnessy got her pet from a shelter when the dog was six weeks old. Although Chanel could run miles in her younger days, now she suffers from joint problems and spends most of her days at home.
21-year- old in dog age is equivalent to 120 years old in human.
世界上年龄最大的狗"香奈尔"于本周三迎来她21岁的生日，生日当天，她不仅得到了吉尼斯世界纪录颁发的证书，还享受了入住犬旅馆和做水疗的待遇。
这只腊肠犬曾是纽约杰弗逊堡的一只救援犬。她身穿橙色外套，戴着红边护目镜，她的主人蒂尼斯·肖尼西替她领了长寿奖。
吉尼斯的女发言人杰米·帕纳斯说："香奈尔是最长寿犬的吉尼斯世界纪录保持者。"
据帕纳斯介绍，（为核实香奈尔的年龄，）吉尼斯世界纪录审核了一位兽医的证明，四名证人的陈述和证明香奈尔年龄的照片。
在香奈尔之前，世界最长寿犬纪录的保持者是一只28岁的、名叫布奇的狗，它于2003年去世。
香奈尔坐在一个红色迷你沙发上接受拍照，不过她看起来明显有些紧张，不时有些发抖。
肖尼西说，香奈尔很容易疲倦，因为眼睛有白内障，所以她在太阳光下需戴护目镜，由于后腿上长了一个良性肿瘤，她还穿了护腿套。
51岁的肖尼西说："我很悉心地照顾她，像对待人一样对待她。"肖尼西与她的丈夫卡尔共同看养香奈尔。
肖尼西是从一个宠物收容所领养香奈尔的，当时她只有六周大。香奈尔年轻时能跑好几里地，不过因为现在她关节有问题，所以大多数时候都呆在家里。
一只狗21岁相当于人120岁。
