You probably aren't too concerned about the lifespan of the new puppy you just brought home, given that dogs can live anywhere between 10 and 15 years. Because some dogs live significantly longer than the normal dog, you'll undoubtedly want to learn how to keep your dog healthy as they age.
Our dogs appear to age quickly, going from playful puppies to relaxed elders. The only drawback for people who live with dogs is that they don't live long enough.
And yes, we want them to live on forever. Despite the fact that our dogs live considerably shorter lives than we do, we can make small adjustments to their lifestyle and care to help them live as long and as happily as possible.
Meet u/jcd1974, a redditor who took to the r/TodayILearned subreddit community to share something that they found to be very interesting. It was about the longest living dog named "Bluey," an Australian Cattle Dog who was born on June 7, 1910, and died 29 years and 160 days later, on November 14, 1939.
In response to Bluey and other dogs' longer lives, a survey of 100 Australian Cattle Dogs was made; the findings revealed that the breed had a mean longevity of 13.41 years and a standard deviation of 2.36 years.

RedditDespite the fact that Australian Cattle Dogs live on average, over a year longer than other breeds of dogs of the same weight, the study's findings suggest that record ages like Bluey's should be regarded as extraordinary outliers rather than as evidence of the breed's outstanding longevity.
