Bobi's 'oldest ever dog' title is in question as Guinness World Record investigates

As of Tuesday, Guinness World Record said it is reviewing evidence of Bobi's lifespan, while also looking for new information and "reaching out to experts and those linked to the original application." (Jorge Jeronimo/AP)

Bobi, the purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo, seemingly led an idyllic dog life.

His owner, Leonel Costa, says the pooch had free roam of the small Portuguese village where he lived. He had a cadre of "feline friends," and he was on an exclusively human food diet. Costa says he, however, took care to soak Bobi's food in water to wash away any seasoning before feeding him.
