In Memoriam: Bobi the Dog :(
We've some news. Some sad news. The saddest news, perhaps. Sweetest Bobi the Dog, a dinky, chocolate brown purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo, and the oldest dog of all time, has passed away at the age of 31 years and 165 days. Which is around 217, in human years.
He was small, compact, very smiley, hungry for rice and chicken and, above all, an extremely lovely little chap. Join us in memoriam for this sweetest little dog as we mark the passing of an all-time great.
Hold your four-legged friends close x
🕯️

The Best News of Last Week - May 15, 2023
🐕 - Now It's a Paw-ty
1. World's oldest ever dog celebrates 31st birthday
Bobi was born on 11 May 1992, making him 31 years old, in human years. A big birthday party is planned for Bobi today, according to Guinness World Records.
It will take place at his home in the rural Portuguese village of Conqueiros in Leiria, western Portugal, where he has lived his entire life.
2. The FDA has officially changed its policy to allow more gay and bisexual men to donate blood
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that they’ve eased restrictions on blood donations by men who have sex with men in an effort to address blood shortages. The new policy recommends a series of individual risk-based questions that will apply to all donors, regardless of their sexual orientation, sex, or gender. Gay or bisexual men in monogamous relationships will now be permitted to donate blood.
3. Illinois passes bill to ensure community college credits transfer to public universities
The Illinois General Assembly has passed a bill that would help community college students transfer to public universities.
It would ensure that certain classes taken at community colleges could be transferred to any higher education institution in the state. Some schools currently only count community college coursework as elective credits.
4. Brazilian President Lula recognizes 6 new indigenous territories stretching 620,000 hectares, banning mining and restricting farming within them
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has decreed six new indigenous reserves, banning mining and restricting commercial farming there. The lands - including a vast area of Amazon rainforest - cover about 620,000 hectares (1.5m acres).
Indigenous leaders welcomed the move, but said more areas needed protection.
5. More than 1,000 trafficking victims rescued in separate operations in Southeast Asia
More than 1,000 trafficking victims were rescued in separate operations in Southeast Asia over the last week, officials in Indonesia and the Philippines said.
Indonesian officials said Sunday they freed 20 of their nationals who were trafficked to Myanmar as part of a cyber scam, amid an increase in human trafficking cases in Southeast Asia. Fake recruiters had offered the Indonesians high-paying jobs in Thailand but instead trafficked them to Myawaddy, about 567 kilometers (352 miles) south of Naypyidaw, the capital, to perform cyber scams for crypto websites or apps, said Judha Nugraha, an official in Indonesia's Foreign Affairs Ministry.
6. A peanut allergy patch is making headway in trials
An experimental “peanut patch” is showing some promise for toddlers who are highly allergic to peanuts. The patch, called Viaskin, was tested on children ages one to three for a late-stage trial, and the results show that the patch helped children whose bodies could not tolerate even a small piece of peanuts safely eat a few.
After one year, two-thirds of the children who used the patch and one-third of the placebo group met the trial’s primary endpoint. The participants with a less sensitive peanut allergy could safely tolerate the peanut protein equivalent of eating three or four peanuts.
7. Critically endangered lemur born at Calgary Zoo
The Calgary Zoo has released pictures of its newest addition, a baby lemur. The zoo says its four-year-old female black-and-white ruffed lemur, Eny, gave birth on April 7. The pup’s father is eight-year-old Menabe. The gender of the pup has not been confirmed but the Calgary Zoo says the pup appears bright-eyed and active and is on the move.
The black-and-white ruffed lemur is registered among the 25 most endangered primates in the world, due mostly to habitat loss and hunting.

tw animal death
Like the fact that Bobi, the oldest dog in the world (and the oldest ever recorded), should have died with his siblings and yet he didn't. Like, hiw owner said that when Bobi was born, the owner's father buried the puppies alive cause he didn't want more dogs, but because of his fur, Bobi was able to blend in with some wood and therefore, escape and be found by his, then child owner and he got to live.
like idk man it gets to me

At 30 years and 266 days old, a Portuguese dog named Bobi was crowned the world’s oldest dog ever on February 1, breaking an almost century-old record, per Guinness World Records (GWR).
The previous titleholder, an Australian cattle dog named Bluey, was born in 1910 and lived for 29 years and 5 months.
Bobi has lived in Conqueiros, a small Portuguese village, for more than three decades. But he almost didn’t survive past infancy, Leonel Costa, his owner, tells GWR.
Costa was just eight years old when Bobi’s litter was born in the family’s woodshed in 1992.
Costa’s father, a hunter, decided the family had too many animals already, so they couldn’t keep the puppies.
“Unfortunately, at that time, it was considered normal by older people who could not have more animals at home … to bury the animals in a hole so that they would not survive,” Costa tells GWR.
The day after they were born, Costa’s father quickly entered the woodshed and stole the puppies while the mother dog, Gira, was out.
For the next few days, Costa and his brothers were devastated. However, they noticed Gira continued to visit the shed, despite her puppies supposedly no longer being there.
Curious, the brothers followed her and discovered a single tiny puppy safely hidden in a pile of logs.
They kept the puppy, Bobi, a secret from their parents until his eyes were open.
“We knew that when the dog opened its eyes, my parents would no longer bury it,” Costa tells GWR.
Bobi is a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo, a breed often used to guard property and livestock.
These dogs normally live about 12 to 14 years, but Bobi has survived for twice as long—and then some.
“That really is an unusual thing,” Erik Olstad, a veterinarian at the University of California in Davis, tells the Washington Post’s Andrea Salcedo.
“Owners will always ask me, ‘How can I make my dog live the longest life that they can?’ That’s a loaded question because there are so many variants that go into life expectancy.”
Costa attributes Bobi’s long life to his diet of unseasoned human food, his freedom to roam unleashed through the forests and farmland close to home, and the calm countryside in which he grew up.
“Of course, our love and affection throughout his life have also helped,” Costa tells Reuters’ Catarina Demony and Miguel Pereira.
Apart from one health scare in 2018, Bobi has lived a relatively healthy life.
The dog’s longevity has been confirmed by the SIAC, a pet database authorized by the Portuguese government and managed by the National Union of Veterinarians.
The Veterinary Medical Service of the Municipality of Leiria also confirmed Bobi’s birth date, per GWR.
In addition to earning the record for the oldest dog ever, Bobi has also ousted Spike, a 23-year-old chihuahua mix, as the oldest living dog just weeks after the title was given to Spike.
“It’s a feeling of pride we can’t explain,” Costa tells Reuters.
“Some people told us we wouldn’t make it ... but we knew Bobi’s age and were sure the exams would only prove what we already knew.”

NEW: Oldest Dog Ever - Guinness World Records
Bobi has been officially confirmed as the oldest dog ever recorded by Guinness World Records.
Born in Portugal in 1992, Bobi lives with human Leonel Costa.
"We are really happy and grateful to have Bobi with us after 30 years", said Leonel.
Leonel believes that living free in nature, without being tied to chains, and being fed healthy food, in addition to love, helped Bobi to have a longer life.
"I believe Bobi deserves this Guinness World Records title and I, as his owner, have a duty to give him all the best and honor him in every way for this success in life", completed Leonel.

The Brits stripped Bobi of his record as the world’s oldest ever dog!! This means war, time to start blowing up their holiday homes in Algarve again as revenge.
Imagine having beef with a dog
