Most dog lovers wish their four-legged friends could live forever, and yet senior canines are surrendered to shelters and rescue groups in heartbreakingly high numbers. But every day, all over the world, elderly dogs are doing incredible things.
Dogs like Maya, a rescue dog who pioneered the technique used to save koalas after the Black Summer bushfires. Or Haole, who continued working as a surf therapy dog while battling cancer, and eighteen-year-old Holly, who survived for days lost in the Australian Outback.
From saving lives and breaking records to leading online movements and surviving against the odds, stately seniors are wringing every ounce of joy and adventure from their lives.

Whilst mum tucks into her snacks, your V.I.Pooch can enjoy a designer ‘Doggy Bag’ full of drool-worthy dog toys, healthy dog snacks and handy poop bags to bring along on your walks, hikes and adventures all around town.
Through her years of emergency experience, Dr Alex Hynes wants to share her knowledge with dog owners including symptoms to look for, potential causes of illnesses, prevention and support, how to perform CPR, how to transport your dog to the vets, as well as what to expect when you arrive at the hospital.
You'll learn the first steps in emergency care for your furry friends including: Why is my dog vomiting? What foods are toxic to dogs? How can I tell if my dog is in pain? and much more...
