A dog from Shropshire who was crowned the world's oldest canine has been put to sleep after suffering from stomach cancer.

Otto, a Dachshund terrier cross from Reabrook, Shrewsbury, was 20 years and 11 months old.

He was recognised as the oldest living dog by Guinness World Records in October and enjoyed playing ball with neighbours' children until recently.

His owners Lynn and Peter Jones said he was a "loveable, affectionate rogue".
