"Guinness World Records Revokes Title from Bobi, World's Oldest Dog"

Guinness has revoked the title of world's oldest dog from Bobi, a Rafeiro do Alentejo from Portugal, after a month-long investigation failed to provide conclusive evidence of his claimed age of 31. Bobi's age was called into question by veterinarians, and Guinness ultimately concluded that they did not have enough evidence to support his record. The investigation highlighted the need for more stringent evidence requirements for pet records, and while a new record holder has not been named, Guinness hopes the publicity will encourage pet owners worldwide to come forward.

Bobi, the World's Oldest Dog, Passes Away at 31

Bobi, a Portuguese mastiff, has passed away at the remarkable age of 31 years and 165 days, making him the world's oldest known dog. Bobi's longevity shattered the previous record held by Bluey, an Australian cattle-dog who lived to be 29 years and 5 months old. Bobi's exceptional lifespan is attributed to his calm environment, freedom to roam, and a diet similar to his owners. He was saved from a shallow grave as a puppy and became a beloved member of the Costa family in Portugal.

Bobi, the Guinness World Record holder, celebrates 31st birthday with traditional Portuguese party.

Bobi, a Rafeiro do Alentejo from Portugal, celebrated his 31st birthday with a traditional Portuguese party in Conqueiros, a rural village in Leiria, Portugal. Bobi was declared the world's oldest dog by Guinness World Records in February. He is reportedly in good health, but has difficulty walking and his eyesight has declined. Bobi has spent his whole life only eating "human food," and he’s never been chained or leashed. His owner, Leonel Costa, says Bobi is special because he represents the generations of his family who have passed away.
