Bobi the farm dog breaks world record as oldest pooch to ever exist at 30 years old

The record for the world's oldest living dog has just been beaten by Bobi the OAP pooch - and he's also the oldest verified dog in history. Bobi, who was born on 11 May 1992, is 30 years 267 days old - beating chihuahua Spike who was announced the eldest just two weeks ago.

Bobi is a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo, a breed of livestock guardian dog, and has miraculously doubled the average life expectancy of 12-14 years. According to the Guinness World Records, Bobi has lived his entire life with the Costa family in the rural village of Conqueiros, in Leiria, Portugal.
