☆ Bobi, named world’s oldest ever dog, loses title after investigation
  + stars: | 2024-02-22 | by ( Jack Guy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
CNN —Bobi the dog, who died last year reportedly at the age of 31, has been stripped of the world’s oldest ever dog title following a review by Guinness World Records (GWR), the organization announced Thursday. Bobi, a Rafeiro do Alentejo, had been known as the world’s oldest dog until he provisionally lost his title in January pending the result of a GWR investigation. For now, it is not clear who holds the title of oldest dog ever. “We’re not yet in a position to confirm a new holder for the record, although we certainly hope that the publicity around the record title encourages pet owners from around the world to get in touch,” said McKinley. Bobi was a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo – a breed of livestock guardian dog – according to his owner.

CNN —The world’s “oldest ever dog” Bobi, who died in October reportedly aged 31, has provisionally lost his title as Guinness World Records (GWR) investigates his age, a spokesperson for the company told CNN on Tuesday. “While our review is ongoing we have decided to temporarily pause both the record titles for oldest dog living & ever just until all of our findings are in place,” the spokesperson said. Bobi poses for a photo with his owner Leonel Costa and his Guinness World Record certificates for the oldest dog in May 2023. He was a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo – a breed of livestock guardian dog – according Costa. The previous record holder for oldest living dog and the oldest dog ever was held by Australian cattle-dog Bluey, who was born in 1910 and lived to be 29 years and five months old.

☆ Was Bobi Really the World’s Oldest Dog? His Guinness Record Is in Doubt.
  + stars: | 2024-01-16 | by ( Victor Mather | More About Victor Mather | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Bobi’s advanced age was remarkable: Dogs of his breed normally live 12 to 14 years. And although there are many exceptions, smaller dogs in general live longer than midsize ones, who live longer than the largest. It noted that while Bobi had been registered on a Portuguese government database, his listed age was based entirely on the owner’s say-so. Questions were also raised because the dog appeared to be overweight in photos, not a good sign for extreme longevity. It said that while the timeline could vary, it sought to keep such investigations to three or fewer months.
