Cats are glass cannon rage monsters while dogs are tanky.

    Depends on the dog. Boxers for instance reach a certain (relatively young, for most dogs) age and just... break down, at a genetic level. Cancer everywhere.

    My sister is on her third boxer. I don't know how she does it considering they rarely make it past ten years.

    Ten years is fantastic for a boxer (and probably a fortune in vet visits); if I recall correctly they start breaking down at around 6 or 7 years old.

    It's tragic, because other than that they're great dogs for children.
