Dog Years

The dog year, primarily used to approximate the equivalent age of dogs and other animals with similar life spans. Both are based upon a popular myth regarding the aging of dogs that states that a dog ages seven years in the time it takes a human to age one year. One seventh of a year, or approximately 52 days. When this definition is used, a standard calendar year is known as a "human year". A standard (365-day) calendar year of a dog's life, whereas a "human year" is the period of a dog's (or other animal's) life that is claimed to be equivalent to a year of a human being's life (or seven calendar years). When these units are used, measurements in both "dog years" and "human years" are often included together, to more clearly indicate which name is used for each unit.
