Unfortunately most dogs dont even live to there rightful age due to car hits, dog fights, snake bites, ticks, ring-heart worm, or other parasites, diseases or unforeseen circumstances.

Smaller dogs tend to live longer than larger dogs, if they are taken care of. Your Maltese will likely live another 8 years, possibly even hitting the age of 20.

The average, healthy maltese can easily live to at least 16.

Most small dogs live much longer than bigger dogs. So, a Maltese, if healthy can live around 18 years.
