Bobi was a male purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo dog cared for by Leonel Costa of Conqueiros, Leiria, Portugal.

However, after veterinarians became suspicious of his real age, an investigation was pursued. Once his records were revoked, he was stripped of the title. Bobi died on 21 October 2023, reportedly aged 31 years and 163 days. Originally certified by Guinness World Records, Bobi was initially confirmed as being the oldest verified living dog as well as the oldest verified dog in history, being 30 years and 266 days old from an evaluation on 1 February 2023.
