Take a look: The World’s Oldest Dog ever & why he’s lived so long

Bobi has been recorded as the oldest dog ever by Guinness World Records at 30 years and 266 days!”  The owner of the dog, Leonel Costa, has released a video on his pet.

In 1992, Bobi was registered at a vet in Leiria, Portugal. Bobi was due to be put down as a puppy along with the rest of his siblings, however, his current owner, Leonel Costa, was able to hide him and eventually make him a part of the family. This is what Bobi’s owner has to say about why the dog has been able to live so long.

It could be due to the “calm, peaceful environment” he grew up in. Also, he has never been chained up nor attached to a leash and has always enjoyed roaming free. The dog is also “very sociable” and spends time with different animals, even cats. He also drinks a lot of water, about one litre per day. As for his diet, Bobi has always eaten ‘human food’ with the seasoning removed.
