Meet Bobi. He's 30 years, 272 days old to this day. What's Wauf thoughts on him breaking the world record of being the oldest dog in the world?

>mfw my dog has some grey hair around the muzzle at 3
this doggo is almost as old as me.
Respect
I wonder if I will still be posting on Wauf when I'm 220
In a few years it is very unlikely that a dog will ever be older than me again. I am taking in this moment for all it's worth. A dog is older than me. Everything is right on gods earth.
fatboi/10
would slap his belly
It's gotta be some kind of genetic mutation.
Or he made fun of dog jesus carrying the dog-cross and got cursed to live until the second coming.
Im curious, is he spayed or intact?
is he a good boy?
He's cute and seems polite. Good for him. I'm proud and hope someone hugs him today.
>Bobi has gone on to live a long, peaceful life. Costa said Bobi has never been chained or leashed, but instead is allowed to roam free in forests and farmland that surrounded Costa's family home. He has always eaten unseasoned human food, which Costa thinks has contributed to Bobi's longevity.
Confirms my suHispanicion: he eats real food and lives without much stress. Whatever genetic advantage he can manifest.

Makes sense. The quality standards are completely different for dogfood compared to human food. I wouldn't be surprised if literal tons of literal junk leftovers from human food production end up in dogfood which might even be spoiled in ways.
I wish they were more specific about what "human food" is. I don't know what people eat in Poortugal
Good question.
>Generally speaking, typical Portuguese home-cooked food revolves around proteins such as pork, chicken and fish, legumes, vegetables (particularly leafy greens used in stews and soups which we explore further below, or simple preparations which will have them boiled or steamed), bread, cheese, and cold cuts (including artisanal and regional cured meats and other pork products of a more industrial nature). Our diet is part Mediterranean (explaining the expansive use of olive oil for seasoning and cooking), and part Atlantic, which translates into cooking with lots of fresh fish but also cured species like salted cod, aka bacalhau.

I assume that the dog eats pork and seafood and some cooked veggies.
Exceptional longevity like this is entirely up to genetics.
>allowed to roam free
Clearly, he just found the fountain of youth in the forests of Portugal.
I don't believe it, that dog is older than me and doesn't look it.
maybe he's waiting for something
>if only you knew how bad things really are..
Breed him for more
Keep on rockin Bobi
he's a good boy
and mine had to be checked out at 14
it's not fair, bros
no seriously, how the fuck is he doing it?
literally every dog is greying at 10 or even way earlier and he just looks like an obese but healty dog in his best years
NANOMACHINES
extremely good genes
Not greying must be linked to whatever else is providing longevity.
you might be onto something here
his owners inject him with extracts from freshly-neutered young dogs
A bit of white on the belly but seemingly none on his muzzle, which is interesting. Every old dog I've ever seen goes white in the face first. Is facial whitening a sign of DNA damage??? They should fund a lab t research this.
Could be fake. Genesis is known for mediocre investigation before slapping a record on something since you can pay them. Could just be a fat dog
I hope they studed him out. We should breed for long living, healthy companions.
>portugal
Probably enjoys a sip of wine every day and siestas
We don't do siestas in Portugal.
Inject some of his genes into rats.
>220 years old in dog years
in human years.
he is 30 in dog years.
retards
>doubling down on being an absolute moron
Everyone hates to be wrong but you are digging yourself deeper and deeper.
I dont think you understand how this all works.
so he was born in 1802?
And now greying. Wtf.
What is his secret??
*NOT greying. Damn keyboard
Pretty sure greying is only a thing in humans and gorillas
have you never owned a pet?
I can't think of a single pet that doesn't grey out, even goldfishes do
Do colourful parrots?
In dogs, you mostly see it in the muzzle.
And even there he is barely greying. IF AT ALL.
based actual old dog
most of them just have lying attention-hungry owners or came from a shelter that guessed they were 10 years old because they slept a lot
what do you think "Verified" means?
A fancy word for fag
