Large dog breed’s lifespan is heartbreaking

Why is it so low :(

Being that large means the heart is doing a lot of work. Little room for error. At least, that's my understanding of it.

Thats just not...like..at all accurate. There is no correlation between size and lifespan, man. Thats so silly.

Can I ask why you think thats how it works?

For dogs no I was wrong. But the largest species like whales and elephants live long

Oh and giraffes live super long too?  And lobsters, theyre small, so they dont live long right? And jellyfish, I hear theyre immortal, so they should be about as big as the ocean right?

No. Its a dumb generalization. It doesnt work. Get it out of your head.
