After transhumanism, here comes transanimalism.
I understand one may really like its dog/cat/... but, why not just accept time passes ?
(I've lost a goldfish and I was not happy, proper burial helped a lot)

Humanity is eventually going to be able to extend lifespans indefinitely. Whether that happens sooner or later depends on how many people decide not to go gentle into that good night.
Can you prove that ? Or is it just wishful thinking ?
If you were enslaved with no expectation of freedom, you'd do your best to make peace with it just to survive. But you might also spend your free time secretly trying to find a way out.
But the OPs comment was, to me at least, as absurd as if I said to someone “I don’t think you should worry so much about saving your daughter’s life. When I lost my dog, I was sad, but I got over it.”
These are not in the same category to most people, and you can’t assume your experience of losing a dog gives you insight into losing a child. Same goes with dog -> goldfish.
