Did swimming kept Kirki looking young in her autumn years (inset)?
Rough collie Kirki - named after the Greek goddess of magic, Circe - lived to the ripe age of 17 and owner Harissa Kastrioti reckons olive oil had something to do with it.
"She would eat almost everything we ate, from cherries and fish soup to spaghetti and lentils," says Kastrioti, from Athens. "Vets recommend specialised dog food but I can't help thinking her unconventional and diverse diet played a big part in her longevity. She never ate candy or potatoes - not unless she stole them. Perhaps the Mediterranean diet should be recommended for dogs as well.
"Being raised in an apartment in downtown Athens... she did not get much exercise but she did follow us pretty much on every trip. She was most happy at the beach. Sometimes we would wake up horrified to find her swimming alone some way off shore, then we would laugh our heads off as she came back safely with that distinct guilty attitude, tail wagging low, busily looking the other way. Doctors say swimming is good for you, why not for your dog?"
