10 Reasons Senior Dogs Are So Unbelievably Awesome

According to Jane Y., her 16-year-old cocker spaniel, Piri may be well into his senior stage but still has the spirit of a puppy. “He’ll nap for most of the day, and he moves slower than the younger pups, but when he’s happy he prances, hops and trots with the best of them,” she says. “What I love most about Piri are his deep and soulful eyes. I know he has seen and experienced so many things, and what is more, he has still so much more love to give. When he adds a head nudge or two asking for neck scratches? Completely melts my heart.”
