‘World’s Oldest Dog’ Contender Dies in France Aged 30
- On Thursday, Lazare, a French Papillon dwarf spaniel thought to be the world's oldest dog, died aged 30 years and five months, his carer announced on Friday.
- After spending decades with one owner, Lazare entered an animal charity's shelter when she died; single mother Ophelie Boudol, 29, adopted him last month and brought him home to her nine-year-old son and two cats.
- At 30 years and five months old, Lazare wore nappies, could no longer hear or see, and slept almost all day, yet Boudol described him as 'delightfully spirited' with 'such an endearing personality.'
- In an Instagram farewell, Boudol wrote that Lazare 'chose to take your final flight in my arms on the evening of 14 May' to rejoin his original owner, as Guinness World Records did not immediately confirm his record status.
- Bobi, a Portuguese Rafeiro do Alentejo, died at age 31 in 2023 as the recognized world's oldest dog, while a 2024 review found insufficient evidence to verify Lazare's age claim.
