Lucia cares for 22-year-old dog Monty, inspiring others

A woman has shared her daily routine caring for her 22-year-old dog, Monty, who was adopted when he was six. This story has become popular online, showcasing the strong bond they share. Monty is a Parson Jack Russell terrier, a breed known for its friendly nature. While these dogs typically live between 13 and 15 years, Monty has lived many years beyond that. Lucia, Monty's owner, often features him on her TikTok account. In a recent video, she detailed how she takes care of him, highlighting the time and effort it takes to look after a senior dog. She starts her day at 8:15 a.m., making Monty breakfast and giving him his medications. His treatment includes pain relief and herbal supplements, all hidden in peanut butter to make it easier for him to swallow. Lucia also shared her routine of changing Monty's diapers, needed due to his age-related issues. After caring for him, she goes for a run while Monty enjoys a nap in the sun. In the comments, Lucia mentioned that Monty's eyesight has worsened in the past year, but she remains dedicated to his care. The video has attracted a lot of positive feedback from viewers, many expressing admiration for Monty's health and longevity. One user remarked that Monty looks much younger than his age. Another praised the quality of care he receives, encouraging other dog owners to appreciate their pets. In 2023, the Guinness World Records recognized a dog named Bobi as the oldest living dog, but later retracted the title due to a lack of proof for his age.
