Dog lifespan. In Rounderhouse's SCP-001 proposal, it's mentioned he has access to life-extending tech as an essential staff member, but even the Overseers can't prolong the life of a dog that long. So late into the SCP, we find out that after _he_ became an O5, his time finally ran out and he asked the Administrator to put him down before it got too painful. Karlyle Aktus had also became an O5 and then committed suicide under similar circumstances, so it unfortunately wasn't a very tall request.
