On Friday, October 20, 2023, the world’s oldest living dog, a Portuguese pup named Bobi, passed away at the incredible age of 31 years and 165 days, reported Guinness World Records on Monday. His passing at an animal hospital was first announced by veterinarian Dr. Karen Becker, who wrote on Facebook that “despite outliving every dog in history, his 11,478 days on earth would never be enough, for those who loved him.”

The construction of the Santa Clara dam (1963–73) on the Mira River created a 12,000-hectare “irrigation perimeter” for hydro-agricultural exploitation along a 41-kilometer strip of Portuguese coast in the southwest of Alentejo, between Vila Nova de Milfontes and the village of Rogil.

The owners of Bobi, a Portuguese Rafeiro do Alentejo dog, lived to the ripe old age of 31, making him the Guinness World Records oldest dog in the world has

Bobi was born on his family’s farm in the village of Conqueiros, Portugal on May 11, 1992, according to Guinness World Records.

The purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo livestock guard dog had a life expectancy of 12 to 14 years. His owner credit's Bobi's longevity to his ability to roam freely and his diet of human food.

The world's oldest known dog, Bobi, bid a fond farewell to this world last week at an animal hospital in Portugal. He lived to be 31 years old.
