^^^I think maybe sometimes, not always. I think it depends on whether or not, the owner can keep the pet happy and comfortable. My sister had a chocolate lab, got her from the pound, and the dog had a lot of problems. The first problem was a skin disease. When the dog wasn’t bathed it smelled VERY bad. Then it had allergies that required monthly medication. Finally, she developed cancer and couldn’t hold her bladder. My sister kept her until she died in the house.
