"A world record holder with a life that defied biology.
The record-breaking dog Bobi has died, marking the end of a truly historic life. Born presumably in 1992, he survived as the only puppy of a litter that was actually supposed to be killed. His family raised him on a farm in Portugal–without a leash, without a kennel, with plenty of peace and fresh air. Leonel Costa, Bobi’s owner, is convinced: This environment was the secret to his extraordinary lifespan."
