I am not sure if this thread is intended to be a discussion of whether dogs who live until they are in their mid-teens are well cared for, or whether it is a discussion on whether Suzie called Sally (names purposely changed) a troll. In either case, it is a rather silly discussion. I don't think a dog can/will live that long without human care/assistance. If you want to get into a debate as to what appropriate care of a dog is, there are probably as many answers to that as there are dog owners. The fact that a dog does live to that age does not have anything to do with another dog/cat many states away dying at a young age. I am surprised that anyone on this board would think that it does. I am particularly surprised to see that someone who works at a veterinarian's office would chose to make a correlation between the two.
