After she became “famous” for the title, the family said that Pebbles is a “night owl” as she likes to sleep during the day and stay awake at night.

For Julie, the secret to a dog’s long life lies in the care it receives: “Treat your pet like family because they are family. Provide them with the best possible happy and positive environment, as well as good nutrition, hygiene and proper medical care.”
