It’s Bobi, who has officially been recognised as the world’s oldest dog ever. The purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo is 30 years and 272 days old, smashing his breed’s normal life expectancy of just 12 to 14 years. Bobi’s owner, who aged eight helped to save and secretly rear the pup in his family’s shed, puts the pooch’s longevity down to a diet of unseasoned human food.
