(CNN) — Pebbles, the world’s oldest dog, has died at the age of 22, according to Guinness World Records.

The record-breaking toy fox terrier died of natural causes at her
home in Taylors, South Carolina, on Monday, said Guinness in a
news release.

The elderly pooch was five months shy of her 23rd birthday,
according to the release.

Pebbles was only recognized as the world’s oldest living dog
earlier this year. In April, Guinness had initially named a 21-year
old chihuahua named TobyKeith as the oldest living dog — but
when Pebbles’ owners saw the news, they realized their dog was
actually older and they leapt into action like a dog chasing a
squirrel.

On August 21, 1980, animal rights advocates Ingrid Newkirk (below) 
and Alex Pacheco founded People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals. Rising from humble beginnings, PETA will soon become
the world’s foremost and most controversial animal rights
organization.

(Live Science) – An An, the oldest-ever male panda in captivity, has
died at the age of 35 in a Hong Kong amusement park. The giant
panda was euthanized after his health deteriorated over the course
of several weeks, according to a statement from the Ocean Park
theme park, where An An lived since 1999.

Although The Animal Foundation takes in many animals each day,
one kitten is catching the attention of many at the shelter.

The Animal Foundation posted on social media Friday that they
currently have, what they call, a super rare male calico kitten at
their facility.

According to the nonprofit, only one out of every 3,000 calico cats
is male, and they are sometimes referred to as the "unicorns" of
cats.
