Due to Bobi's old age, walking is difficult, his family told Guinness. They say his eyesight has worsened, and he often will bump into miscellaneous things. "Bobi is special because looking at him is like remembering the people who were part of our family and unfortunately are no longer here, like my father, my brother, or my grandparents who have already left this world. Bobi represents those generations," the Costa family told Guinness.
The previous record-holder for oldest dog ever was Bluey, an Australian cattle-dog who lived to be 29 years and 5 months old, Guinness said.
