SINGAPORE: The Guinness World Records is looking into whether Bobi, the oldest dog in the world, really lived for 31 years, or about the equivalent of 200 human years.
This comes amid growing scepticism over its age, with veterinarians questioning whether it was biologically possible for a dog to live that long, according to The Guardian.
“We’re aware of the questions around Bobi’s age and are looking into them,” a Guinness World Records spokesperson told the news outlet.Bobi, a pure-bred Rafeiro – a Portuguese breed of livestock guard dogs – died on Oct 21 at the age of 31 years and 165 days. The breed has an average life expectancy of 12 to 14 years.
