I can still picture that white muzzle and gentle eyes.
Bobi, the dog who touched the world, has passed away in Portugal at 31. He spent his days in the sun, napping by the house, greeting neighbors, and padding slowly across the yard. A quiet, simple life.
His family says he was calm, loved home-cooked food, and stayed close to the people who raised him. Maybe that love helped him keep going. Maybe it was luck. Either way, 31 is a number that makes you stop and smile.
When news of his passing came, people from everywhere shared photos and memories. It felt like saying goodbye to a friend we all knew even if we never met him.
Bobi was celebrated for being the world’s oldest dog. Later, questions were raised about records and paperwork. But none of that changes what his family felt when they held him, or how many hearts he warmed.
Thanks for the reminder, old boy. Slow walks matter. Sunbeams matter. Being together matters.
