Also, if you google "dog assistance band" - you'll probably find what I used to help my 75-lb Ike up and down the stairs: it was a nice, fleece-lined nylon band about 6" wide, with handles. I'd laugh and say it turned him into a "suitcase" - but it offered an easy way to give a large dog some lift/assistance/stability without breaking my back or risking a fall on the stairs for BOTH of us. I was able to hold Ike's handles in one hand, and keep my other hand on the stairway railing.
Something like this:
Assist sling
