Doggy years:
To fully comprehend a dog’s age, one must apply the “dog years”
formula. However, the old theory that one dog year = 7 human years
is no longer supported by scientific research. Different dog breeds
age differently, and small dogs typically live longer than large ones.
The original formula was based on a ratio that assumes the average
human lives to 70 and the average dog lives to 10. Based on current
research, the American Kennel Club offers these formulas for
calculating a dog’s age:
• 15 human years equals the first year of a medium-sized dog’s life.
• Year two for a dog equals about nine years for a human.
• And after that, each human year would be approximately five
years for a dog.
While there are certain factors that can make one breed last longer
than others on average, the fact of the matter is that a little bit of luck
and the right conditions can make animals from many breeds live for
decades.
