@Vitolo awesome Dusty , Patricia McConnell's book 'other end of the leash' excellent resource/reference for dog owners if one has time to read it, I highly recommend..
With my Cosmo, I stuff his king with various chewy stinky treats, then freeze it, after some time when u need the dog to focus or if he's bored bust out the frozen Kong filled treats for Dusty, he will love even more!

Oldest known polar bear in the world dies at Point Defiance Zoo

POINT DEFIANCE ZOO & AQUARIUM
The world’s oldest known polar bear spent his youth entertaining crowds at a traveling circus, then captured hearts when he found a permanent home at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium.
On Tuesday, 34-year-old Boris was euthanized after his health continued to decline.
Recent exams showed severe arthritis in several of Boris’ joints and multiple fused vertebrae in his neck and skin issues. He also had a history of gastrointestinal problems, as well as liver and dental disease.
“We cared for Boris as long as possible with a combination of groundbreaking medical treatment and daily TLC,” said Dr. Karen Wolf, the zoo’s head veterinarian. “But he had increasing difficulty getting up, had recently fallen, and his quality of life had declined dramatically. We did not want him to suffer.”
The 880-pound polar bear far surpassed the median life expectancy of 23.4 years for male polar bears cared for by humans. Most polar bears live 15 to 18 years in the wild.

TACOMA, Wash. – Boris, an elderly polar bear believed to be the oldest male of his species on the planet, was humanely euthanized at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium on Sept. 1 following a significant decline in his health.
He was 34, a one-time circus bear who found a stable home in Tacoma, where he was loved and revered by the community. He gained international recognition seven years ago when photographs of him undergoing a dental procedure at Point Defiance Zoo circulated in newspapers and online around the world.
Zoo staff members made the difficult decision to euthanize the geriatric bear due to his deteriorating quality of life, Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium Head Veterinarian Dr. Karen Wolf said.
