| True Doggy Age?????? I have been bored today and doing some web surfing! LOL! And I came across this cute site that talks about a dog's true age. And this is pretty interesting!!! Lifespan The old rule-of-thumb that one dog year equals seven years of a human life is not precisely accurate. The ratio is higher with youth and decreases a bit as the dog ages. Depending on breed, a dog experiences the raging hormones of adolescence anywhere from eight months to two years or more. Generally, a dog of six has aged about as much as a 45-year-old human. At 10, she's like a human of 65; at 12, a human of 75; and at 15, a human of 90. Dog Years A dog's lifespan is only a fraction of the average human's lifespan, which means that a dog ages more quickly in the same amount of time. This chart shows how a dog's age might be adjusted to compare to a human's age. Canine Age Human Age 2 Months 14 Months 6 Months 5 Years 8 Months 9 Years 1 Year 15 Years 2 Years 24 Years 3 Years 28 Years 4 Years 32 Years 5 Years 37 Years 6 Years 42 Years 7 Years 47 Years 8 Years 52 Years 9 Years 57 Years 10 Years 62 Years 11 Years 67 Years 12 Years 72 Years 13 Years 77 Years 14 Years 82 Years

| That comparison has to be using humans that don't smoke or drink, get lots of rest, exercise regularly, and eat healthy. My 6-yr old is more like a man of 20 than a 42 yr old man. lol And how many 5 yr old humans still wear diapers? |
