Spike is 23 years of age. Received the title of the Guinness World Records’ World’s Oldest Living Dog on January 19, according to People. However, the group On February 2, it was able to prove that an older dog existed in the world. Bobi, a Portuguese-born dog aged 30 years old, holds the record.

Bobi was 30 and 268 years old. Days As of Friday, the animal had always been a resident in Leiria (Portugal) This animal is a Rafeiro do Alentejo purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo and typically lives 12-14 years. Not noted.

Bobi is not only the longest living dog, but also the oldest dog to ever live. He beat Bluey, who died in 1939, at the age of 29 years and five weeks.

Bobi was registered with a veterinarian in 1992, who was able to say what the dog’s date of birth was. He was also a senior citizen. Confirmed By a database for pet owners. He was born in an outdoor shelter with four other male pups in a structure his Costa family used for wood storage.

“I was eight years old,” Leonel Costa spoke at Guinness World Records. “My father was a hunter, and we always had many dogs.”

His father, however, felt that they couldn’t keep the puppies because they already had too many animals.

“Unfortunately, at that time it was considered normal by older people who could not have more animals at home […] to bury the animals in a hole so that they would not survive,” Leonel spoke.

Leonel’s parents took the puppies away while their mother was not there, but they didn’t notice that they had forgotten one — Bobi — because his color blended into the wood. Leonel and his brothers were heartbroken over the puppies’ demise, but noticed that the mother dog kept going to the place where the dogs had been born.

“We found the situation strange, because if the animals were no longer there, why would she go there?!” He said. Bobi was found in the shed by the boys and they decided not to inform the parents.

“We knew that when the dog opened its eyes, my parents would no longer bury it,” Leonel spoke. “It was popular knowledge that this act could not or should [not] be done.”

“I confess that when they found out that we already knew, they screamed a lot and punished us, but it was worth it and for a good reason!” He noted.
