“Is there ever enough time? I think not. Last night, this sweet boy earned his wings,” she wrote in the caption of a tribute photo of the famous pup.
According to People, Bobi was a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo breed with a life expectancy of 12-14 years. According to Guinness, Bobi was born May 11, 1992.
Becker shared the secret to Bobi’s longevity from his owner Leonel Costa.
She continued:
“Despite outliving every dog in history, his 11,478 days on earth would never be enough for those who loved him. When we asked Leonel what his recipe was for Bobi’s exceptionally long life, his response was swift: ‘Good nutrition, constant contact with nature, freedom to discover his environment, consistent veterinary care, and love. Bobi knows he’s deeply loved.’”
