It's extra sad for large breed dogs, who live much shorter lives than small breeds.

I'm hoping the new drug that's in the works to increase the lifespan on large breed dogs is successful and without serious side effects.

True. Most "normal" dogs usually live 10-15 years healthy depending on the breed. I don't think I ever saw one of my parents' wolfhounds make it to 9yo, and that was with plenty of care and a healthy life. Being that big just pushes the limits of what their body can do.
