Guinness World Records has temporarily suspended the title of the oldest dog ever, previously held by Bobi, a Portuguese guard dog who died last year at reportedly 31 years old.

Bobi the Dog's title as the world's oldest canine was suspended on Tuesday, after the Guinness World Records began to have doubts about his real age. Guinness World Records insisted the suspension was "temporary, while (the review) is ongoing".

The group said it had received correspondence from some vets questioning the dog's age and took note of public commentary from vets and other professionals.
