TL;DR Summary

Bobi, the dog who was believed to be the world's oldest ever at 31 years old, has been stripped of the title by Guinness World Records after an investigation found insufficient evidence to support the claim. The review revealed that the microchip data used as evidence did not require proof of age for dogs born before 2008, leaving no conclusive evidence of Bobi's date of birth. Bobi's owner, Leonel Costa, claimed that the dog lived until the age of 31 years and 165 days, attributing his longevity to a free-roaming lifestyle, a peaceful environment, and a diet of human food soaked in water. The title of oldest dog ever is now uncertain, as Guinness World Records awaits new evidence to determine a new record holder.
