, as the world’s “oldest dog living,” Guinness World Records discovered an older dog in Portugal that would break the record.Guinness World RecordsThe previous oldest dog ever was an Australian cattle dog named Bluey who lived to be 29 years and 5 months old. He lived from 1910 to 1939 — meaning Bobi broke an almost century-old record.
The pooch is a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo, which is a breed of livestock watchdog with an average life expectancy of 12 to 14 years, according toBobi has spent his whole life in the rural village of Conqueiros, in Leiria, Portugal with the Costa family.

Bobi’s human, Leonel Costa, never even thought his dog could be the oldest dog living, let alone the oldest dog ever.“We found the situation strange, because if the animals were no longer there, why would she go there?!” he recalled.
