I had to put my St. Bernard, Malcolm, down this past May. He was only 8 years old. The one before him only lived until 6 1/2. Malcolm's back legs just gave out one day. He still loved food, wanted to chase cats, etc. etc. Just totally alive. It was just awful having to put him down.
Someone made the mistake of telling me a 3 1/2 year old St. B. is in the local shelter. I am torn between getting another St. B--I adore the breed--or a small mutt that will live to be 15.
Any advice. Should I risk heartbreak again, knowing I probably only have three or four years with the dog? Do St. B's every live past 8?
