FACT CHECK #HJ6FEES_

WHAT WE FOUND

According to Guinness World Records, the official record for the oldest dog ever belongs to Bluey, an Australian cattle dog who lived to be 29 years and 5 months old 124. Bluey was born in 1910 and was euthanized in November 1939 38. While a Portuguese dog named Bobi was briefly recognized as the oldest dog ever in 2023 for allegedly reaching over 30 years of age, his title was suspended and eventually stripped in early 2024 following an investigation into the validity of his age 1911. Consequently, the title of the world's oldest dog was reclaimed by Bluey 11. Multiple sources confirm Bluey's age as the definitive historical benchmark for canine longevity 5610.
