I always thought

I always thought that 1 year in a dogs life was equal to 7 human years, but I saw this today,

Everyone knows this for a fact – but it isn’t.


Your 3-year-old dog is 21 years old in human years, right? Wrong! The general consensus of experts is that dogs mature faster than humans, so they reach the equivalent of 21 years in only two. After that, the aging slows down to the equivalent of four human years per year.


How to calculate your dog’s age correctly? Subtract two from the age, multiply that by four and add 21.

Wow!! How cool, thanks for sharing this, so Buster will be 2 in April which means he'll be 21 in bully years so I can send him to the liquor store by himself to buy me beer!!!

Subtract two from the age, multiply that by four and add 21.

OUCH..... I HATE math!! But, I think that means Banks is 45
