Bobi, the Portuguese dog that was considered the oldest in the world, was he after all 31 years old? The owner presented laboratory evidence to prove it and now says he will take Guinness World Records to court.
“Bobi’s age is confirmed and he would be 32 years old within a few days. Saliva and blood tests were carried out and they are very clear. The biologist and the laboratory that carried out this situation confirm that Bobi, at the time of these tests , I was 31 years old”, said Leonel Costa, in an interview with TVI.
The awarding of the title to Bobi caught the attention of several national and international experts who wanted to meet the animal and carry out examinations, something the owner said “he always agrees with”.
According to the TVI report, this data has already been transmitted to Guinness and, due to the lack of response, Leonel Costa said he will take the case to court.
“The first point will be to restore Bobi’s titles” and then prove to “all people”, even “some who doubted Bobi and the owner” that, in fact, the animal “lived a long life”.
In this process, Leonel will also urge Guinness to change Bobi’s breed in its records, as it appears that he is a Rafeiro Alentejano, but the owner guarantees that his companion is a “pure mutt”.
It should be remembered that, after several doubts, Bobi lost the title of oldest dog in the world in February, as the entity said “it did not have the necessary evidence to support Bobi’s claim as holder of the record”.
The animal, which was born in the village of Conqueiros, in Leiria, died on October 21 at the age of 31 and would have gone down in history and broken a Guinness record for being considered the oldest dog in the world.
