Bobi's family planned a Saturday birthday party at his home in Conqueiros, a rural village in southern Portugal.
More than 100 people attended the “very traditional” Portuguese party, owner Leonel Costa said.
A dance troupe also performed with the birthday dog, who is a Portuguese pedigree breed, participating in one of their routines.
Costa has owned several old-aged dogs in the past, including Bobi’s mother, Gira, who lived to the age of 18.
One of the biggest contributing factors to Bobi’s longevity is the “calm, peaceful environment” in which he lives, according to Costa.
Throughout his life, Bobi has freely roamed the forests surrounding the Costa house. He has never been chained or leashed.
