The World’s Oldest Dog Is 31 And His Owner Explains How

By now you may have seen this headline floating around online.

Most people with pets have wished that their furbaby’s lifeline would last a bit longer. Wouldn’t it be great if we could have our furry friends around longer?

Unfortunately, for the most part we must say goodbye to our pets much sooner than we would hope for. It’s never an easy thing to let go of a pet that you have had through some of the most pivotal parts of your life.

Animals give us so much joy and unconditional love.

One dog in Portugal, is defying the laws of animal history and is still living his best life at 31 years old!

 

Bobi is a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo. The Rafeiro do Alentejo is an excellent farm and estate watch dog. According to The American Kennel Club, since the beginning of the breed’s history, Rafeiros Alentejanos were used in packs as hunting dogs for big game. Though this function has gradually disappeared over time,  the breed is a guard dog for property and livestock, watching sheep and cattle more recently.

Bobi has been declared the world’s oldest dog by Guinness World Records. He eats only human food and loves a good nap.

According to his owners, they celebrated his birthday with over 100 people this past Saturday.

The truth is, they had no other explanation for why Bobi is still around and kickin’.

But maybe it does have something to do with him getting a home-cooked meal more often than not.

Bobi, The World’s Oldest Dog Is 31, which is double the general life expectancy of canines.

 

Delaware Endangered Species List Is Now Up To 86 Species

Delaware Endangered Species List Is Now Up To 86 Species

It’s hard to believe that our little state of Delaware is home to a number of threatened and endangered plant and animal species. Some of the best known of these are the Leatherback Sea Turtle, Mud Salamander, Sperm Whale, Atlantic Sturgeon, Bethany Beach Firefly and the Delmarva Fox Squirrel.

The Delmarva Fox Squirrel used to be common in the state.  These squirrels were nationally listed as an endangered species, but removed in 2015.  However, they do remain on Delaware’s list.  According to DNREC, the squirrel has been reintroduced into the first state in surrounding Delmarva arras in an effort to have them removed from Delaware’s list of most endangered.  The most recent release was last year, in 2022.

The First State now lists 86 species as endangered or threatened.   The law provides regulations for the conservation of threatened and endangered plants and animals and the habitats in which they are found. Title 7 of the Annotated Code of Delaware prohibits the importation, transportation, possession, or sale of any part of an endangered species of fish or wildlife.

Here are some of the most endangered species here in the first state.  See the full list of all of Delaware’s endangered species here.
