An even more incredible fate because an old dog should not reach an advanced age. When he was born, Lionel Costa’s family used to kill young puppies, due to lack of money to keep them.

He attributes this first to his living environment, being in a quiet location in the countryside, but also to the fact that he was never chained up. ” Of course, it was the love and affection he had throughout his life that helped as well ”, his master reports.
