“Lifespan” is is not about power. It is about speed. In a dozen years, dogs are born , grow up, mature, grow old and die. Their cells are just overclocked to run the whole program at a faster rate than humans. There are advantages and disadvantages to this. Dogs heal faster and can procreate sooner. Humans are around a very long time so we can teach our young all sorts of stuff, but our young are helpless idiots for like 6 years. Haha
