Bobby celebrated his 31st birthday in May. Over a hundred guests attended the function organized by its owner. Among them were many scientists. Their stay is to help determine the reasons for the dog’s longevity. According to one of them, veterinarian Karen Becker, Bobby’s quality and varied diet may have made him so mature.

According to veterinarian and researcher Peter Tobias, the secret to a dog’s longevity may lie in a combination of factors. – Bobby lives in the countryside, walks without a chain, has a relatively stress-free environment, regular food and loving carers – Tobias said in May. – A genetic factor also contributes to the extraordinary longevity of a dog – the scientist added. His words seem to confirm the age of Popi Kira’s mother, who lived to be 18 years old.

The previous record for longevity was held by an Australian shepherd, Bluey, who lived to 29 years and five months.
