On February 2, 2023, Guinness World Records awarded Bobi the title of oldest dog ever. This was a moment of pride for his owner, Leonel Costa, the Costa family, and dog lovers worldwide.
Bobi’s age was officially verified by the Serviço Medico-Veterinário do Município de Leiria (Veterinary Medical Service of the Municipality of Leiria) in Portugal, as well as by the pet database managed by Portugal’s National Union of Veterinarians (SNMV).
Bobi had a humble and, might I say, miraculous beginning.
