TL;DR
Guinness World Record is reviewing the title of the world's oldest dog, previously held by Bobi, a 31-year-old Rafeiro do Alentejo from Portugal, following skepticism from veterinarians about his age. Bobi's life story, from being rescued as a puppy to a lavish birthday celebration, has garnered attention. The review will determine if Bobi will retain the title, as his age was independently verified by multiple agencies. Guinness has temporarily paused applications for the oldest living dog and oldest dog ever records until the review is complete.
