Bobi, the world's oldest known dog ever, passed away last week at an animal hospital in Portugal, Guinness World Records announced Monday. 'Bobi lived to be 31 years 165 days old and spent his entire life with his loving owner Leonel Costa and his family in the Portuguese village of Conqueiros,' the record-keeping company said in a news release.
His age was confirmed by his 1992 registration with a veterinary medical service in Leiria, Portugal, and with a Portuguese government-owned pet database, Guinness said. Bobi was born in a litter of four puppies; the three others were put down by owner Leonel Costa's parents because the farm already had too many animals. 'At that time it was considered normal by older people ... to bury the animals in a hole so that they would not survive,” Leonel said in an interview with Guinness.
