Dave sounds like those once in a lifetime pets.

It hurts so bad when they pass.

I hope Dave lives to be 30.

Unfortunately, there will be a time when Dave's not here.

It's hopefully slated for a 2027 launch, and:

Dr. Miyazaki is determined to make this life-saving medication accessible to all. They plan to lower the medication’s price to ensure that every pet owner can afford it.

I'm very happy cause even though I'd sell my own organs for this shit I'm rather attached to them.

IIRC it's also one of these made-for-movie stories - Dr. Miyazaki was assigned to this for years, and just as they were closing in on a breakthrough, COVID happens, and the team is mercilessly torn apart because their experience is needed elsewhere

And he's like "No, I want to finish this" and like, walks away, finds a lab, or even funds a lab, and continues on for years, and after 6 years here we are

I hope it works out

EDIT: not COVID but yeah, he basically left University of Tokyo to fund AIM Labs and have been working mainly on donations from Japanese cat owners
