THE world's oldest dog has been posthumously stripped of his title in a dispute over his actual age.
Bobi died in October final yr — allegedly aged 31 years and 165 days.
But now the Guinness Guide of World Data has raised doubts over the reliability of the microchip used to prove Bobi's age, saying it isn't adequate proof.
The OAP mutt, a Rafeiro do Alentejo breed, lived in Conquerios, Portugal.
Bobi's owner, Leonel Costa, has not yet commented but beforehand stated suspicions over his dog's age have been "unfounded".
He previously stated Bobi was born in 1992 when he was eight-years-old, and he hid him from his mother and father as that they had too many animals.
Leonel attributed Bobi's lengthy life to his weight loss plan of unseasoned human meals and by no means being walked on a lead.
Guinness World Data stated: "We're left with no conclusive evidence which may definitively show Bobi's date of start.
"Without any conclusive evidence out there to us proper now, we merely can't retain Bobi as the record-holder.
The previous record-holder was Bluey, who died in Australia in 1939 aged 29 years, 5 months.
