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

This is one of the most popular of the terrier family, and has been so ever since the institution of dog shows. It is the only breed that has a journal devoted entirely to its interests. The Fox Terrier Chronicle, a monthly journal, founded in March, 1883, and edited in the early days by Mr. L. P. C. Astley, is at the present time published by the Stock-Keeper, London. Each issue generally contains a photograph of a leading breeder, and in all cases some well-known terrier. Quite a budget of interesting matter is given, besides the prize lists and reports for the month’s shows, and also all the fox terriers registered in each issue of the Kennel Club Gazette. Very instructive and interesting articles frequently appear.

The fox terrier is also one of the few breeds that has been favoured with a book confined exclusively to itself. “The Fox Terrier,” by Mr. Rawdon B. Lee, is a most valuable work to the admirers of the breed.

He is an excellent companion, obedient, faithful, and a first-class house guard. For field work he has few equals, his endurance being remarkable, and he can be taught to retrieve on land or in water; he has an excellent nose, is a deadly foe to all vermin, and can be taught to do almost anything that a dog has been known to do, and withal is quick at learning. His few faults are his impetuosity, excitability, and disregard of orders when challenged by a rival to fight, or to discontinue a rough and tumble with any strange cat that happens to cross his path.

— Walter Beilby, The Dog in Australasia (1897)
