If I was in some Disney movie and was granted three wishes, one of those wishes would be that dogs live forever. These amazing creatures for the most part just want to show us unconditional love. They don’t want to do anything except show you love and spend time with you which is why I wanted to discuss the longest living dog breeds just in case you’re thinking about getting a dog soon. 

Before we jump into specific dog breeds and their life expectancy, remember that dogs are a long commitment. The last thing a dog needs is to be passed around and never truly know where their home is, so please remember when you get a dog you need to be there for them until the very end.
