Bobi (Portuguese pronunciation: [buˈβi], 11 May 1992[a] – 21 October 2023) was a male purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo dog owned by Leonel Costa of Conqueiros, Leiria, Portugal. Bobi was claimed by his owner to be the oldest dog to ever live and the first dog on record to reach 30 years. On 2 February 2023, Bobi was certified by Guinness World Records as the oldest living dog, along with being the oldest dog on record to ever live. [3] However, after veterinarians became suspicious of his real age, an investigation was pursued. Once his records were revoked, he was stripped of the title.[1][4][2] Bobi died on 21 October 2023, reportedly aged 31 years and 165 days.[5][2]
