The only problem is with the alleged age of the dog.
a shepherd or a shepherd mix or any large dog is not going to live to 19yrold.
14 -15yr old sure but 19??
only small breeds live this long and the worlds oldest dog only lived to be 26
There are exceptions to every rule. I have a 19 cat that has a heart murmer, hypertropic cardio myopathy, is hypo-thyroid, anal gland issues, and has been dealing with kidney failure for 5 years. He suffered heart failure and just keeps on ticking.

My BF has a big brown mutt named Lilith (think she's a pit mixed with some kind of large breed dog, but not sure what) When she was 14, she had a major surgery to remove tumors...everyone said we were nuts to put her through it, but they don't know our Lilith. She's 17 now...in fact, I just saw her a few minutes ago chomping happily on a duck and cherry treat and dripping wet from playing with the water hose .
I gave everyone who responded positively to this thread a reputation bump... Some twice... This is why we love our dogs to the very end, and why it is so hard to finally do the compassionate thing.
Thank you! I wanted to hear him speak about his pup. What a beautiful man with a beautiful dog. I love them both.
