Don't count on attention and proper care to extend your dog's life. For some dog breeds, this is determined by genetics.
After conducting the necessary research, employees of the Royal Veterinary College of Great Britain named a breed of dog that lives less than its fellows.
The worst situation in this regard is with French Bulldogs, whose average age is 4.5 years.
The long-lived French bulldog, according to data voiced by experts, lived for only 11 years, which is not the limit for most dogs.
To find out, scientists studied more than 30,000 dogs, representatives of 18 popular breeds, over 5 years.
