A French Spaniel dog named Lazare, who was put forward as the oldest on the planet, died at 30 years and 5 months in the town of Villy-le-Pelloux.
The pet was born on December 4, 1995, according to the records of a shelter where Anne-Sophie Moyon worked, who provided the dog’s details. After the death of his first owner, the animal was adopted by Ophelie Boudol, a 29-year-old woman who cared for him in his final weeks of life.
The animal wore diapers due to his advanced age, suffered from blindness and total deafness, but maintained a lovable character until Thursday, May 14, 2026, when he passed away in southeastern France.
