STUDY: A DOG’S LIFE

According to a new study, here are the dogs that live the longest and the shortest. The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) analyzed data from more than 30,000 dogs in Britain that died between 2016 and mid-2020, and calculated the average life expectancy:
– Jack Russell terriers have the longest life expectancy, living for almost 13 years on average.
– Yorkshire terriers were the second longest-living breed (12.5 years) and border collies were third (12.1 years).
– French bulldogs live the shortest life, with an average life expectancy of just four-and-a-half years.
– Other flat-faced breeds – English bulldogs, pugs and American bulldogs – rounded out the bottom four alongside French bulldogs, with none of them expected to live more than eight years at the time of birth.
– The study also found that neutered dogs also lived longer than intact pets.
* At least, it SEEMS longer to the dog.
* Yet Scooby-Doo survives.
* Please tell me they’re not letting the dogs see this information.
* Here’s an old joke: I went to a psychic and she told me that I was going to suffer tremendous heartbreak and sadness in about 11 years. I felt so bad, I went out and bought a puppy.
