Bobby is introduced as a purebred Alentejo cur, used as a herding guard dog. Born on May 11, 1992, he is the only survivor of four males from a bitch, Zhira, who were born in the outbuilding where the family of Leonel Costa, the owner of the mongrel, stored firewood. The family got rid of the puppies, but Bobi escaped by hiding while continuing to feed Giru.
Leonel Costa has been taking care of his four-legged companion since the age of eight. Despite her advanced age, already having vision problems and difficulty with long walks, Bobi still has enough energy to play with the four cats she shares her space with.
The family believes that the secret to their longevity lies in the fact that they have always lived in the countryside, in a peaceful environment and in contact with nature. Bobby’s mother lived to be 18 years old.
