At 22 years old, Winston is the oldest pug in history!
There are some websites online that state (and regurgitate) that a 27-year old pug named Snookie is the oldest pug to ever live – but there are no sources, no records, nor are there any photos.
I’m the pug owner behind this blog, but I’m also a professional photographer in Las Vegas, and on an outing for group headshots for a law firm, I met the company dog – Winston!
There are many accounts of 17 or 18-year-old pugs on reddit and other social media, and even a few stories about 19-year-old pugs, but Winston is the first pug to ever reach the big two-oh with photos to prove it!
In this article, we’ll dive into Winston’s story a little bit more, cover how pugs normally live to be, and talk about how you can help your golden live a long happy life.
Let’s go!
