    I don’t care if it works or doesn’t on humans. If there is a drug that can help my dog live longer, they can have all the money. It’s a cruel joke that we made the bestest of friends for ourselves, but they have a super short lifespan.

      “The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long.”

      What happens if we use the drugs on the dogs and then they just end up being “okay boys” rather than “good boys”? 🐕

      I don’t know if I could live in such a world.
