"Guinness World Records Investigates Title of 'World's Oldest Dog' Bobi"
TL;DR
The Guinness Book of World Records is investigating the age of Bobi, a supposed 31-year-old dog from Portugal, whose title as the world's oldest dog has been suspended amid suspicions about the evidence of his true age. Bobi, a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo, passed away last October, and his owner claims he was born in 1992. The investigation involves a formal review and appeals process, and the title of oldest living dog has been temporarily paused until all findings are in place.
