A friend of mine lost her Golden at about 4 years to cancer. It started off in her ear and then metastasized. But she was happy right up to the end.
My Ridgeback died at 15 1/2, which is really old - we took her in several times for cancer tumor removal, and two years ago the vet said that she was too old to go through that any more. So we quite getting the surgeries and one of the mast cells finally metastasized and we had to put her down when it combined with other complications. Still, a long happy life.
