He was a bicentennial man’s best friend.
Pet lovers were devastated to learn that Bobi, the world’s oldest dog, passed away over the weekend — just months after his 31st Birthday.
The long-lived canine’s death was confirmed on Facebook by Dr. Karen Becker, a veterinarian who met Bobi on several occasions.
“Last night, this sweet boy earned his wings,” she wrote in the touching tribute. “Despite outliving every dog in history, his 11,478 days on earth would never be enough, for those who loved him. Godspeed, Bobi…you’ve taught the world all you were mean’t to teach.”
The mutt everlasting — a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo — reportedly passed away on October 21 at his home in Conqueiros, Portugal where he lived his entire life with the Costa family, Guinness World Records reported.
Born on May 11, 1992, Bobi was reportedly an eye-popping 31 years and 165 days old at the time of his passing (for reference, the average dog’s lifespan is 10-13 years).
This came months after Guinness had officially recognized the herding dog as both the world’s oldest living and oldest ever pooch on February 2, 2023.
