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
Guinness World Records said its review has found that there was not enough evidence to prove that Bobi, a purebred Rafeiro Alentejano from Portugal, had lived for 31 years and 165 days.
Bobi, previously crowned the world's oldest dog, has lost his title due to inconclusive evidence of his age, Guinness World Records (GWR) announced Thursday.
Last year, Guinness World Records declared Bobi the world’s oldest dog. But shortly after his death, veterinarians and other experts began asking questions.
Bobi's owner said the dog had lived a record-breaking 31 years and 165 days old when he died in October 2023. But a review by Guinness World Records found that evidence of his age was inconclusive.
Guinness World Records revoked a dog's title as the world's oldest following an investigation. Bobi, who died in October, was reportedly 31, but evidence was lacking.
Guinness World Records has revoked the title of oldest canine ever from a Portuguese dog named Bobi, who died last year. Bobi was a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo.
Bobi, the oldest dog ever who died at age 31 in October 2023, has had his record revoked by Guinness World Records after a review concluded it “no longer has the evidence it needs to support Bobi’s claim as the record holder,” GWR said in a news release.
