🌟Summarize:

The news focuses on Bobi, a Mastiff from Portugal who broke the previous Australian Cattle-Dog record by living for more than 31 years, and the plight(困境) of his newborn.

☀ Comment:

The reason I chose this news is because I like dogs very much, and I have a dog at home. It is quite old. I also saw that the dog lived a long time and died, so I was particularly interested in this subject. 💖

My impression after reading this news is that Bobi is really lucky to live to an incredible age, because ordinary dogs can only live to be 20 years old at most, but he lived more than 10 years longer than other dogs. Years ago, it even surpassed(超越) the previous record of the Australian cattle-dog Bluey. I believe it has also experienced a lot of "dog" principles in its long life! 😆

🫨Difficult words: 

❶ incredible (hard to believe)

❷ tough (very difficult)

❸ step in (to take action)

👀The news:

In 1992, a dog named Bobi was born. He was a Portuguese mastiff(葡萄牙獒犬) and most dogs like him live for about 12 to 14 years. But Bobi was different and he lived for an incredible(難以置信) 31 years and 165 days.

Bobi’s start of life was tough(艱難). When he was born, the owners didn’t want him and his three brothers. People thought about burying(埋葬) them, which was a normal thing to do at that time. A young boy named Leonel Costa and his brothers stepped in(介入) and saved Bobi. He became part of their family and he lived with Leonel all his life.

In February 2023, Bobi officially became the world’s oldest living dog. He broke the record which Bluey, an Australian cattle-dog(澳大利亞牧牛犬), previously held. He lived for 29 years and 5 months.


1992年，一隻名叫Bobi的狗出生了。 他是一隻葡萄牙獒犬，大多數像他一樣的狗活了大約12到14年。 但Bobi與眾不同，他活了令人難以置信的31年零165天。

Bobi的人生開端很艱難。 當他出生時，主人不想要他和他的三個兄弟。 人們考慮埋葬他們，這在當時是一件正常的事情。 一個名叫萊昂內爾·科斯塔的小男孩和他的兄弟們介入並拯救了博比。 他成為他們家庭的一員，他和萊昂內爾一起生活了一生。

2023年2月，Bobi正式成為世界上現存最古老的狗。 他打破了澳大利亞牧牛犬Bluey之前保持的記錄。 他活了29年零5個月。
