Portugal pooch crowned as world's oldest dog

LISBON - A dog from Portugal is not only a good boy, but he's now been recognised as the oldest good boy in the world.

Guinness World Records has crowned him the most elderly pooch in history.

The brown-haired dog lives near Leiria in central Portugal, surrounded by cats.

He's a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo, a breed of livestock guardian dog.

They have an average life expectancy of 12-14 years, but Bobi's wagged his tail to 30 years and 266 days.

His owners, the Costas, credit his long lifespan to a peaceful environment and roaming freely on their farm.
