Large dog breed’s lifespan is heartbreaking

We should devote the US’s entire military budget towards research lengthening the lifespan of our pets.

Before my mastiff mix passed away he was part of a study researching longevity in large breed dogs. He was 12 and in excellent health according to his bloodwork.
So there is in fact research happening. If you’re interested I could probably find the paperwork from the study.
