FRIENDS FOR LIFE: 19-YEAR-OLD MILO

In 2019, SPCA distributed ‘paw-neer generation’ packages to senior dogs and the oldest dog found was a 19-year-old Dachshund named Milo. Late last year, Milo passed away from age-related illness. Despite their heartbreak, Milo’s owners hope to inspire others to keep their companions for life.

Mr Ono: “We fell in love with Milo when he was ~3 months old in Tokyo, in July 2000. Milo warmed up our home and connected us with neighbours with his adorable looks. Conversations with neighbours helped my Singaporean wife’s Japanese skills improve.

He enjoyed simple things like watching the passing cars and trains, and the natural breeze. We fed him fresh foods such as vegetables and rice which contained many enzymes, as advised by his vet. He also ate fruits such as bananas and apples.

When he was around 12 years old, his senses, digestion, and physical abilities got weaker. He was still able to smell food during meal times, but often took longer to locate it. He didn’t run as much due to his age, but still walked around with his tail wagging.

After being with us for almost 20 years and going through our ups and downs, Milo taught us loyalty, sincerity, and trust. We were fortunate to have shared lots of happy memories with Milo.”
