There is a reason why dogs are considered man’s best friend. At times they are funny, playful and mischievous, and at other times they are serious, smart and supportive. They are good boys and girls and many would say they are the best pets.
Despite all that is good about dogs as a species, there is something wrong with them: They don’t live very long. They get old, sick… The good thing is that they don’t care about their age. Even though they get older and their coat turns gray, they play and enjoy life as in their youth. And although people say that they are more adorable as puppies, we don’t agree: old dogs are lovely. And if you don’t believe us, take a look at these beautiful dogs that have lived their life to the fullest and now enjoy their well-deserved “retirement”.
