I had a labrador-chow mix, he was a good dog.
invincible even. hit by cars, shot by shotguns, pelted by hail, big tree limbs hitting him, several problems doctors thought he wouldn't live through
he was around 15-17 when we finally had to put him down. blind, deaf, hardly able to walk anymore, began squatting when he had to piss
so yeah. i had that dog my entire life
