  Poor pupper gotta be tired. Wonder when Bobi started slowing down
context: My dog's 19 and we think he's at about his limit. 30 is just incredible! Hope he's comfortable and happy. >
  
  My dogs made it to 18 and 19.  But damn. 30!!!!!that’s over 200 years old. >
  
  My 80lb dog is 14.5 years old and poops in the house sometimes. He doesn’t even realize that it happens. Sleeps on our bed and sometimes we wake up to nuggets. He make not make it to 15. >
  
  Keep him until his natural life is over. Do not put him down. Just like humans its okay to live with discomfort as long as he/she is loved and in a comfortable environment. >
  
  My stepfather died 2 weeks ago. I do not think it was "okay [for him] to live with discomfort as long as he/she is loved and in a comfortable environment". The whole thing was just inhumane. I support medical death assistance for both animals and humans. >
  
  I respect your opinion but i simply disagree. Are you sure if asked your step dad "should we kill you now? .... that he would say yes? >
  
  Yes. He told us he wanted to die, laid in his bed for days and stopped eating in the hopes of death. He just wanted to get it over with. He even asked my mom to inject him with morphine despite not being in pain because he thought that might speed things up. He wasn't scared of death anymore. I asked him. >
  
  Why ask for death if not in pain? >
  
  He was very sick and weak and didn't deem his quality of life worth it anymore. >
  
  Well I'm glad he passed on peacefully. My condolences. >
  
  What do they feed him? I just want to feed my dogs whatever they feed this one. >
  
  His long lifespan is like 80% genetics and 20% diet/pet care/environment. >
  
  I wonder if being a herding dog has something to do with it. Maybe not the breed but a more active and stimulating lifestyle. The previous record holder was one also. >
  
  My cattle dog was 19 when he died. And tough as fuck until the end. Bluey definitely lived an ideal life for a cattle dog.
  I’m not sure this dog is actually 30 but I am sure living a more natural, free life keeps a dog young. >
  
  See picture in thumbnail. Click link. Link does not contain picture. Follow another link to twitter. Finally, a picture. 
  wish people would just post the god damned picture instead >
  
  I'm calling bs. That is not a 30 year old dog >
  
  I'm not disputing the fact that he's old. I'm calling the claims that he's 30 years old bullshit. >
  
  I think you are right. That dog has no grey anywhere. It starts on dogs as young as 5, and this guy is 30 with nothin >
  
  Could be related. A dog making it to 30 probably has some kind of genetic abnormality that is allowing that to happen. 
  Not saying I 100% believe it either but the "no grey" may not actually be an issue. >
  
  
  30-year-old
  
  Time for Bobi to open a reddit account >
  
  This was the age I created my account - or thereabout. >
  
  Nice. I was in my late twenties (31 now). Our inner-redditor awakens at this age range, it seems. >
  
  Must be waiting for Odysseus to return home. >
  
  My best friend/soul mate was named Argos because of this simple, short part in the Odyssey. It had always stuck out to me. He was the most loyal friend/companion ever. >
  
  Omg all my love to Bobi >
  
  I bet Bobi is so fucking disappointed in all of us. >
  
  I bet Bobi can't even hear or see us. >
  
  I bet Bobi still loves tummy rubs thou >
  
  MFW I am the same age as world's oldest dog >
  
  World's oldest dog is a few months older than me thats wild >
  
  This is a newly found old dog. I remember reading that Spike was the oldest living dog at 23. I knew there was older dogs than that.
