TL;DR Summary

Guinness World Records has suspended the title of the world's oldest living dog, Portuguese mastiff Bobi, as doubts about his age have surfaced following his death at 31 years and 165 days. Allegations of inauthenticity include discrepancies in old photographs, breed characteristics, and the dog's diet and lifestyle. The organization has paused consideration for other candidates and is conducting a three-month investigation, as genetic testing cannot definitively prove Bobi's age. Owner Leonel Costa maintains Bobi's age claim, attributing it to the dog's diet and lifestyle.
