I have never understood when someone says my dog is 78 years old but in actual real life its like 10 years.
Just curious is all!

Dogs age 7 times faster than humans. Multiply 1 year by 7.

Nobody really does that.

Cut one open and count the rings bub

But yeah I don't know anyone who says my dog is 78, that would be asinine.
They usually say he is 10 and one can figure it is equivalent to a human being 70 in terms of aging.

I've never heard anyone say this in a real life conversation. Ever

78 would be a pretty exact number to get to since its not a multiple of 7

My SO's dog is 13, so over 90 in dog years.

It sounds like something my creepy Uncle Sal would say

My little cupcake is 98!

I've never heard anyone actually do this.

The light that burns twice as bright burns 1/7th as long

A few vets have told me that isn't really accurate.

I know its very uncommon but I have heard it a few times in my life from people that own dogs

Yeah, it is more of an approximation than an exact science.

My Dog is seven, not 49. IMO

i mean, i've heard people say "my dog is 10" and someone would reply " that's 70 in dog years".
but, i've never asked someone "how old is your dog" and had them answer "70".
