Fact#5




For a long time, it was assumed that one human year was equal to seven dog years; thus a dog of nine or 10 years would be considered a senior citizen. However, this algorthim doesn’t exactly match up. Like humans, dogs age rapidly from puppies to sexual maturity, then things slow down a bit in adulthood. Longevity is largely dependent on size: small dogs like miniature poodles and Yorkies can make it to 15, while massive breeds like mastiffs and Great Danes rarely exceed seven or eight.
