There were numerous secrets to Bobi’s extraordinary old age, his proprietor Leonel Costa told GWR in February. He always floated freely, without a leash or chain, lived in a “ calm, peaceful ” terrain and ate mortal food soaked in water to remove seasonings, Costa said.
He spent his whole life in Conqueiros, a small Portuguese vill about 150 kilometers( 93 long hauls) north of the capital Lisbon, frequently wandering around with pussycats. Bobi was a thoroughbred Rafeiro do Alentejo – a strain of beast guardian canine – according to his proprietor.

But Bobi lived further than doubly as long as that life expectation, surpassing an nearly century-old record to come the oldest living canine and the oldest canine ever – a title which had preliminarily been held by Australian cattle- canine Bluey, who was born in 1910 and lived to be 29 times and five months old.
Bobi’s story nearly had a different ending. When he and his three siblings were born in the family’s woodshed, Costa’s father decided they formerly had too numerous creatures at home.
Costa and his sisters allowed their parents had taken all the puppies down to be destroyed.
A many sad days latterly, they set up Bobi alive, safely hidden in a pile of logs. The children hid the puppy dog from their parents and, by the time Bobi’s actuality came given, he was too old to be put down and went on to live his record- breaking life.
His 31st birthday party in May was attended by further than 100 people and a performing cotillion troop, GWR said.
His sight deteriorated and walking came harder as Bobi grew aged but he still spent time in the vicinity with the pussycats, rested more and napped by the fire.
“ Bobi is special because looking at him is like flashing back the people who were part of our family and unfortunately are no longer then, like my father, my family, or my grandparents who have formerly left this world, ” Costa told GWR in May. “ Bobi represents those generations. ”
