Guinness World Records (GWR) said it had no evidence that the elderly canine, who died last year, was as old as claimed.

The organisation said the microchip claimed to prove Bobi's age was not sufficient proof to grant him the title, awarded in February last year.

GWR said it had not yet determined which dog is the new record holder.

Bobi was a Rafeiro do Alentejo from Conqueiros, Portugal.
