LISBON, Portugal (AP) — A 31-year-old dog in Portugal that had been ranked as the world's oldest dog ever, has died.

The guard dog, called Bobi, passed away over the weekend in a veterinary hospital, his owner Leonel Costa told The Associated Press on Monday.

Bobi lived on a farm in Portugal with Costa and four cats.

He was born on May 11, 1992, when his owner was just 8 years old.

That made Bobi more than 217 years old in dog years when he died.
