SF company is closer to creating drug that could help dogs live longer

A San Francisco-based company is working to launch a drug that could make dogs live longer and healthier lives. 

Tuesday, the company called, Loyal, reached a major milestone in its work on the drug right now called LOY-001 which would be given in the form of a routine injection.

I've got mixed reactions on this. I'd be more receptive if the drug delayed or alleviated age related problems as well as extending the life, but I'm not one to keep a pet alive just for my sake, the dog's quality of life be damned. 
Myself, I'd like to live a longer life, but not if I'm bedridden, deaf, blind and dependent on somebody to feed me and change my diaper, so why would I put that on my best bud?
