Two family dogs growing up. Smol Westie had no issues besides old dog health stuff near the end. Second was Golden Retriever. Got smoked by a porcupine he bothered, but didn't want to end his run with mom in the early morning dark, so only noticed when he ran into the room before I went to school and came over to me for pets. Besides that vet bill, best dog ever.

After moving out I became a cat guy but my parents still have one dog at a time. They started buying Poodles and the first one wasn't very bright. Kept eating random crap on the ground. Eventually he ate some abandoned piece of clothing in a park and managed to damage his throat even after surgery to the point he ate blender meat soup until he died a few years later because not being able to swallow solids didn't stop him from trying. I think a stray tennis ball did him in after he tore off his muzzle to eat it in a dog park. Truly a dog of all time. I remember my dad saying it was expensive enough to save dumbo's life that he was on the fence about it but mom convinced him lol.
