Bluey (dog)
Bluey (7 June 1910 – 14 November 1939) was an Australian cattle dog owned by Les and Esma Hall of Rochester, Victoria, Australia. According to the Guinness World Records, Bluey lived 29 years, 6 months and 12 days. Two owners have made unsupported claims for the title in the press for Max and Bella.
Bluey's age, along with that of "Chilla," a mixed-breed (Labrador-Australian Cattle Dog) reported to have lived to the age of 32 years and 12 days, prompted a study of the longevity of the Australian Cattle Dog to examine if the breed might have exceptional longevity. The 100-dog survey yielded a mean longevity of 13.41 years with a standard deviation of 2.36 years. The study concluded that while the Australian Cattle Dogs do live on average of almost a year longer than most dogs of other breeds in the same weight class, the cases of Bluey and Chilla should be regarded as uncharacteristic exceptions rather than as indicators of common longevity for this entire breed.

Bluey (TV series)
Bluey is an Australian television series made by Crawford Productions for the Seven Network in 1976.
The series was another police drama from Crawford Productions, but was different from their previous series - Homicide, Division 4 and Matlock Police - in that it focused on a single detective rather than an ensemble, and that the characters were not stock standard archetypes usually seen in police dramas. Stand-up comedian Lucky Grills was cast as the titular Det. Sgt. "Bluey" Hills who, in contrast to the relatively straight detectives seen in Crawford's previous shows, was obese, drank heavily (even on duty), smoked heavily, visited local prostitutes, and would often enact physical violence to criminals.
Overview
Bluey was set at Melbourne's Russell Street Police Headquarters, with "Bluey" Hills heading his own squad ("Department B"), due to his inability to work within the existing police squads. Department B was given cases which the other departments could not readily solve by conventional means, with Hills applying his unconventional methods to bring about their resolution.
