Guinness World Record stripped Bobi of his title because he was unable to prove his exceptional longevity - 31 years. Bobi, who was crowned the oldest dog of all time a year ago, lost his title for lack of “conclusive evidence” capable of proving his age.

This Rafeiro, a breed of dog that normally has a life expectancy of between 12 and 14 years on average, lived surrounded by cats in a house in Conqueiros, a small village in Portugal.
