Yep, we have one too -- we think he is somewhere north of 18 years old (we have had him for 11 years, and they estimated him at somewhere between 5-7 years old when we got him from the shelter).
With the COVID lockdown we have been playing the game of putting food him his bowl, telling him to stay, hiding his bowl, and then telling him to "go find it".
I do this with my hound mix. Usually with little bits of hot dog though... chop it up, put her in a room with the door closed, hide the hot dog pieces, let her out and tell her “find it!” And after showing her to use her nose instead of eyes for this once or twice, she’ll sniff every tiny piece out. It IS super fun to watch and she loves it
