TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The oldest dog in the world has died. According to Guinness World Records, Bobi, from Portugal, was 31 and half when he died.
Not only was he the oldest dog when he passed away, but he was the longest living dog ever!
Bobi was lucky to have made it to his first birthday.
He was born at the home of the Costa family, who planned to get rid of Bobi along with the rest of the litter because the family couldn't afford any more pets.
But one of the sons, Leonel Costa, hid one puppy from his parents, and when they eventually found out about Bobi, they said he could stay.
The dog roamed free outside his whole life, with other animals and a lot of feline friends.
Leonel believes Bobi’s diet was one reason for his long life, the dog ate whatever the family ate.
