"Controversy Surrounds Title of World's Oldest Dog"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Guardian
Bobi the Portuguese mastiff, previously declared the world's oldest living dog and the oldest dog ever, has been stripped of his title by Guinness World Records due to lack of evidence supporting his claimed age of 31 years and five months. Veterinary experts raised doubts about the plausibility of Bobi's age, and genetic testing could not confirm his exact age. The previous record-holder was Bluey, an Australian cattle dog who died in 1939 aged 29 years and five months. Guinness World Records conducted a review and decided to remove Bobi's record from their records.
