Pebbles was one of South Carolina’s most famous celebrities.  Sadly, she passed this week but not before taking her place in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the worlds oldest dog.

Pebbles passed away peacefully surrounded by her family in Taylors, South Carolina.  That is near Greenville. She was just five months shy of her 23rd birthday.  Pebbles was a mom of 32, a family she shared with her late husband Rocky.

Pebbles was known for occasionally being “cranky” but enjoyed a nice warm bath and a nice meal.  She gained national acclaim after surpassing “Toby Keith” as the worlds oldest dog. Ironically Pebbles really enjoys country music according to her human Mom and Dad.  To learn more get details from People magazine.
