TL;DR

Guinness World Records has suspended the title of the world's oldest dog, held by Bobi, due to doubts about his reported age of 31 years and 165 days at the time of his death. The decision came after receiving correspondence from vets questioning the dog's age and noting public commentary from professionals.
