Tributes have been pouring in for the world's oldest dog, who died aged 31 - months after it was recognised by the Guinness World Records.
The guard dog, called Bobi, died over the weekend in a veterinary hospital, Leonel Costa told The Associated Press. Bobi lived on a farm in the village of Conqueiros in Portugal with Mr Costa and four cats. He was born on May 11 1992, when his owner was just eight years old. That made Bobi more than 217 years old in dog years when he died. In an interview earlier this year, Mr Costa told the Associated Press that the secret of Bobi's long life was good food, fresh air and lots of love.
Dr Karen Becker, a veterinarian, said: "Last night, this sweet boy earned his wings."Despite outliving every dog in history, his 11,478 days on Earth would never be enough for those who loved him."Godspeed, Bobi ... you've taught the world all you were meant to teach.
