Rest in peace Bobi

Bobi, the world’s oldest dog ever, has died after reaching the almost inconceivable age of 31 years and 165 days, said Guinness World Records (GWR) on Monday.

His death at an animal hospital on Friday was initially announced by veterinarian Dr. Karen Becker.

There were many secrets to Bobi’s extraordinary old age, his owner Leonel Costa told GWR in February. He always roamed freely, without a leash or chain, lived in a “calm, peaceful” environment and ate human food soaked in water to remove seasonings, Costa said.

He spent his whole life in Conqueiros, a small Portuguese village about 150 kilometers (93 miles) north of the capital Lisbon, often wandering around with cats.

I heard about this yesterday; it made me happy that my 14-year-old dog may yet have more time.  Kingsford just got a positive checkup from his vet last week.

That's good.  Hopefully he'll have many more happy years with you.
