My 14 year old dog passed yesterday and it was very upsetting to watch. While we were outside he started barking, and we went in for a break and sat down. We heard him starting to breathe extremely fast and saw his eyes roll in the back of his head. His head flopped backwards and his tongue was out as he was shaking. This went on for around 8 minutes and it was horrible as I could not tell if he was alive during the shaking or not. It's awful to think his last moments were pain like that. He did have heart failure. So I need to know is that normal for dogs to die like that, and did he die before the 8 minute shaking went on.

Sorry for your lost. Only a Vet can tell you for sure. You can have test done if you want to be sure. It was fast , and not as much suffering as it could have been . Celebrate the life of your fur baby as best as you can!
I am so sorry for the loss of your dog. At the age of 14 most larger dogs seem to pass because of heart failure. It appears that your dog had a heart attack or a stroke which has cause him to die.
