Bobi is also the dog that has lived the longest in recorded history, according to the Guinness World Records organization. "Only if he spoke could he explain it," says his owner,.

"A lot of journalists and people from all over the world have come to take a picture with Bobi," says owner Leonel Costa. Bobi is in good health, although, he says, she recently took him to the vet because she worried the fame was causing him physical and mental stress.
