That phrase should qualify as an oxymoron,or maybe that's just me. The formula to figure a dog's age by multiplying their human years by 7 has been debunked. The biggest flaw with the old formula was it didn't take into account the variables of the different breeds. The larger breeds naturally age faster which is at least partly due to the growth hormone being greater in the larger breeds but there are many contributing factors so what they have done is made a chart where you can look up your dog's breed and get a guesstimate of their life expectancy. Maybe it's best to not spend too much time thinking about your pet's age and just enjoy your time with them.
