Meet Bobi: World’s oldest dog at 31 years!

How remarkable! This story proves the importance of organic food for both animals and humans. God bless Bobi and his dad, Leonel!

Loved this! My childhood dog, “Princess,” (not a very creative name :), a Beagle/Manchester Terrier mix, lived to near 20 and we “released” her at that age b/c she’d had a stroke, was blind, could not walk outside on her own, even tho’ living on and on…we did not believe her quality of life was very good, even tho’ we wanted to keep her with us. She, in her whole life, never ate “dog food.” She only ate the same food that we ate. Similarly, I’ve had at least one cat that reached nearly age 24, and several that reached age 18 or plus, healthily up until the last month or so, all……they did eat “cat food,” but by half ate what we ate. What did we eat? I can’t enumerate all for so many years, except I can tell you that, on garbage day, once a week, our family garbage used to NEVER fill completely the bottom third of ONE 30 gallon black bag. Our neighbors filled that and twice more. I used to think it was b/c we were the poorest people on the block…(I often wondered if my neighbors were drug dealers…b/c everyone seemed to live so much more above me ) now, I realize it was b/c we did not buy any processed food at all…b/c we could not afford them in the way we were living (we were then investing most of our time and money in advanced degrees, plus paying off old degrees). So, we only bought of the produce isle, eggs, big whole turkeys or chickens to roast any time of year…for meals, sandwich meats, soups….little to no sweets,, no baked goods b/c we could make our own if we wanted to…and if we did, it was something like “Amish Potato Candy” or brownies baked from scratch—unsweetened cocoa used, and the like. Nothing fancy. In the last 30 years, we’ve raised our own vegetables and had hens for our own eggs. When our rescued Lab/Pointer mix tested for both early liver/kidney failure and digestive problems, we fed him a diet of our chicken’s scrambled eggs and cooked rice, mixed with a bit of what protein/fat we were eating…& it reversed his problems….which flabbergasted the vet. I don’t know what “works.” I only know what has “worked” for us..
