JAKARTA - It is possible for humans to still be young. But not for a dog.

And sadly, this world has just been left by the eldest dog, according to Guinness World Records.

His name is Pebbles, he has died at the age of 22.

Pebbles is a Terrier dog. He died of an old disease at his home in Taylors, South Carolina, quoted by CNN, Friday, October 7.

Five months away, Pebbles should be 23 years old.

Pebbles has just been recognized as the oldest living dog in the world earlier this year. In April, Guinness initially named a 21-year-old Chihuahua named fatal Keith as the oldest surviving dog.

However, when the owner of Pebbles saw the news, he realized that their pets were actually older.

Bobby and Julie Gregory, owners of Pebbles, handed over their pets for records on March 28, 2000.

On an Instagram account that he manages dedicated to Pebbles, Julie Gregory posted information about her pet's death, which she calls a lifelong friend.

"It's an honor for us to have the blessing of having him as a pet, and a family member," wrote Gregory.

"No one has ever met Pebbles who doesn't love him."

"He will be greatly missed."
