Nearly 2 and a half years ago...
When I first stepped into Kindergarten 9, Oldo was already retired.
Back then, all the seniors told me that Oldo's "to old to live much longer". That he might "just go any one of these days"...
But it didn't happened.
...
...
My seniors graduated.
I graduated, twice.
And my juniors graduated.
Yet, Oldo was always there.
He was there longer than ANYONE else.
He was there before me, before my seniors, before my seniors' seniors and their seniors' seniors...
He was there before the principal was there, before the ex-principle was there, and before the Kindergarten was even set up. (2002)
He started his life working for this organization while I was still in primary school.
I bet he had seen at least 30 batches of handlers.
...
We always say that he would be the "next one to go"...
But guess what? He outlasted Sonja, outlasted Mel Mel, outlasted Ranger...
He really has lived to a ripe old age.
I hope my dogs can live for as long as he did.
I guess there's now one less job for people that want to slack off during Kennel Washing - "To Walk Oldo". ^_^
Once again, salute to our dearest and greatest "长老". Even though he's old, he never let the new dogs push him around. He'll always fight back, always bark to show his authority, to show the "xin jiao" who's boss. Yet, he's extremely friendly to all the people around him; always eager to go for his walks, always happy to let you cuddle him...

The elder among elders, the legend among legends, the "centenarian" by
human standards, the one who've been around longer than the place
itself...
He breath his last today, and he truly live up his name...
THE ONE AND ONLY K9 LEGEND - OLDO
