Bobi, the world’s oldest dog according to Guinness World Records, dies at 31

Quite the opposite of a dog’s life. Bobi, considered the oldest dog in the world by Guinness World Records, died at the age of 31, Portuguese media reported Monday, October 23, citing his owner who lives in a small village in the center of the country. “We remember the memories of his long life where he was happy and, above all, where he made many people happy, especially his family”Leonel Costa told local media.

Bobi, who lived in Conqueiros, a small village near Leiria, “died at the age of 31 years and 165 days”, said the Guinness World Records. Bobi’s peaceful life had been turned upside down since the announcement on February 1 by Guinness, which lists world records. He was 30 years and 266 days old when his longevity was approved.

In the days that followed, he faced visits from curious people and media from around the world. This rafeiro, a breed of dog which normally has a life expectancy of between 12 and 14 years on average, then reminiscent of Guinness, lived surrounded by cats in a house in this small village in the center of the country.
