Bobi, officially recognized as the oldest dog in the world, passed away today at the age of 31. He was Portuguese, from a breed of dog that exists in the Alentejo, he was an Alentejo mutt. It's always difficult to see our animals pass, especially after more than 30 years together. It's fantastic to see that there are people who take such good care of their animals, and thus allow them to reach this age. Vitor Hugo said that "The dog is the virtue that, not being able to become a man, became a dog." And those who have the privilege of having them in their lives know this is true. I have a 4 year old dog and a 3 year old cat, I would love to have them in our family for so many years. Bobi's family certainly has good memories of him. Sharing a picture of Bobi.

I was reading this piece of news to my husband no longer than 10 minutes ago, it was in the Italian newspapers. Bobi's family was lucky to have him for such a long time.

@LadyDuck My parents also had a Bobi when I was a kid, we have always had dogs. 20 is already a good age for a dog.

Wow! That's a lot of "dog years." Wonder what dog food brand Bobi ate? I just looked it up. Bobi ate human food soaked in water to wash away the seasoning. RIP Bobi... Your record will be very hard to break!

Yes, for what I read he ate the same as the family. Maybe that is the secret. He will be in Guiness Record for some years.

I read about Bobi , I can’t believe he lived so long. What a blessing to his family to have him part of their lives for over three decades!
