The world’s oldest dog living and oldest dog ever, Bobi, is celebrating his birthday with 100 guests from several countries flying to Portugal to attend his party.
Bobi was awarded a Guinness World Record title for the oldest dog in the world in February. He was born on 11 May 1992.
The Rafeiro do Alentejo breed, who lives in the Leira district of Portugal, turns 31- years-old yesterday.
Bobi’s birth date has been confirmed by Serviço Medico-Veterinário do MunicÃpio de Leiria (Veterinary Medical Service of the Municipality of Leiria), who registered Bobi in 1992.
His age has also been verified by SIAC, a pet database authorized by the Portuguese government and managed by the SNMV (Sindicato Nacional dos Médicos Veterinários; National Union of Veterinarians).
According to DailyMail, the pooch will enjoy a ‘very traditional’ Portuguese party this weekend on the family-run farm where he was born in the village of Conqueiros.
100 people are due to attend, some of which are flying in from foreign countries to join in on the celebrations.
Local meats and fish will be served up to guests, with extra for Bobi, who only eats human food.
There will also be a dance troupe performing on the day, and Bobi will be participating in one of the dances.
Bobi’s owner, Leonel Costa, told Guinness World Records: ‘We’ve had a lot of journalists and people come from all over the world to take a picture with Bobi.
‘They’ve come from all over Europe, as well as the USA and even Japan.’
