    To be sure. A purebred dog the kids “kept secret” for several years after a culling. So only the kids knew the dog even existed. Sounds more like the kids found a puppy and justified keeping it by saying they always had it.

      How many years after the culling are we thinking they “found” him? Because even if you take off 10 years, he looked astonishingly good for 21!

      Even if they’re a few years off, he lived to be ancient.

      It doesn’t say in the article how long they kept the dog secret. They were 8 so I can’t imagine it was more than a week or two.
