Your 1-year-old dog isn'''t 7 human years old, contrary to the traditional math. It'''s more like 30 years old, new research shows.
Thanks for this!

Our beloved Schnoodle is, we think, around 16 years old. So that must mean he's ancient in people years! I didn't understand what "the natural log of a number" meant. I searched it on the internet. But even after reading the explanations I found, I still didn't understand it. Oh well... math never was my long suit, as we used to say. Thanks for posting this!

I don't know if I believe that story. I had a dog as a kid who lived to 11, our years, and he still was pretty spry - your telling me he was 330 years old?

Actually fyi I heard there is a clinical trial going on right now trying to figure out how to make dogs live longer.

I don't think you're interpreting that info correctly. Of course, that's not true,.I'm glad to hear that research is being done to see how to increase their ages--I hope without all the issues of old age, though.
