Meet Toto

May 8, 2008

It was Christmas Eve and 21 degrees outside. The last thing Gunnar and Marie Nelson expected to find on their door was a shivering, almost hairless white mess of a dog. This dog was in such bad shape they could not even tell that it was a Lhasa Apso. It just looked like a rat. They were afraid to bring it in the house for fear that it would give something to their other dog who was a pedigree show dog. But how could they turn away a homeless dog on Christmas Eve? So began the story of Toto. And the most amazing part of the story of Toto? Toto is 19 years old. She still walks about a half a block each day and she LOVES other dogs. At 19 years old, Toto is the oldest dog on These Old Dogs web site!
