Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Bobi, the world’s oldest dog ever, dies aged 31
The Rafeiro do Alentejo is a large Portuguese breed of livestock
guardian dog, with males weighing over 45 kilograms and females weighing more
than 35 kilograms. They are brave, protective, and loyal dogs and are known as good
guardians and protectors of their families and properties. They are typically
healthy dogs and usually live between 12 and 14 years. But some dogs live
longer than the average. In fact, Bobi was a large male Rafeiro do Alentejo
that had lived for 31 years and 165 days, or 11,478 days, until his last day on
October 23rd, the world’s oldest dog ever, according to the Guinness
World Record. He lived in a small village about 150 kilometers north of Lisbon,
spent his days with his owner's families and cats in a peaceful environment, and
ate human food whose seasonings had been removed in water. As he spent so many
days with his owner’s family, some of whom have already passed away, he
represented those generations. But he might not have lived longer than a few
days after he was born. Why?
Read the article about this Portuguese dog that had lived longer than
any other known dog.
