It's extra sad for large breed dogs, who live much shorter lives

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.
