Dog Age Calculation

A human scientist has made investigations into the aging of dogs. This is really interesting.

The common knowledge is that one dog year is equivalent to seven human years. While this is actually a rather good rule of thumb, it is not completely true. The ageing differs between different breeds, and as no other known animal differ so much in sizes as dogs do, this calls for different calculations for different breeds.

I will not waste my time repeating what this scientist has come up with, but recommend that you read this article about the findings.

There is but one thing I do not believe in this article. It says that dogs have been around humans for 15,000 years. As far as I have read many times before, the correct age for the dog-human bond is actually about 40,000 years. We dogs are an inseparable part of civilisation.
