How old is your dog really?

If you are a dog and your owner suggests that you wear a sweater
....suggest he wear a tail

Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit,
you would stay out and your dog would go in.

A dog has the soul of a philosopher

The best thing about a man is his dog

The reason a dog has so many friends
is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue

FYI

Estimating Your Dog's Age

Since dogs life spans are usually limited to 15-20 years it should be enough to say that a 2 year old dog is young, a 9 year old dog
is middle aged, and a 14 year old dog is old. etc. However, for some
reason humans feel the need to anthropomorphize every thing
that relates to animals.

The classic "one dog year equals seven human years"
formula has somehow crept into our popular culture.
It is a very poor method for estimating your dogs "human age". It is only accurate in the middle of the spectrum and does not take into account the upper and lower ends of the scale, For example: a 1 year old dog has reached sexual maturity and for all intents and purposes has reached its greatest height and length at this age. No one
would claim that a 7 year old child has reached sexual maturity and has stopped growing. At the other end of the scale you must consider the dogs ROUTINELY live past the age of 15, . That means in human terms most everyone would be living well into their hundreds! In the case of the worlds oldest dog (29) he would be 203!

There is a better method
Use this formula:
The first year of a dog's life=15 years
the second year of a dog's life = 10 years
every year there after is equal to 3 "Human Years"
Example:
A ten year old dog would be:
15 + 10 + (3x8)=49!
A 15 years old go would be:
15 + 10 + (3x13)=64!
Happy Calculating!
