My Boarder Collie, Socks,  lived to be 19 years old, he was 16 in this picture and even at 16 years old pranced around like a pup. He followed my children home one day he must of been only a year old, we tried to find his owner but to no avail, and after a few weeks we knew he was part of our family. He was smart, loyal and so much fun. He never took vitamins or had fancy food, he just had lots of good care and love. His intelligent brown eyes could melt your heart.
