Let me break it down for you dog years all the time, I can define phrases however I want types.
The purpose of "animal years" is to compare the relative lifespans of two animals. Agreed? You kind of have to.
Ok, so you're comparing a dog's life to a human's. You say your 7 year old dog is 49 dog years old, and you say your 49 year old arse is 7 dog years old. Dog years both ways, you do what you want.
Ok, now compare a dog's life to a cat's life. Still going with dog years both ways? Ok, they live about the same, so the 7 year old dog is 7 dog years old, and the 7 year old cat is 7 dog years old. You do what you want.
Now take the dog out, and let's compare a cat's life with a squirrel. Which animal do you choose to go both ways with? You have no logical way to answer this question, because you have insisted on defining "dog years" incorrectly.
The only way this whole exercise makes sense is to define "dog years" correctly and logically. Animal X is animal Y years old, and animal Y is animal X years old. A 7 year old dog is 49 human years old, and a 49 year old human is 7 dog years old.

You say your 7 year old dog is 49 dog years old
You say this because a dog’s year as far as maturity goes(which is why this is a term and concept) lasts about 52 days long. If the dog was alive for 7 human years, it would be about 49 dog years old.
That is what the saying means and what it’s used for.
quote:Nobody does this. Nobody is conceptualizing or comparing their age to a dog.
and you say your 49 year old arse is 7 dog years old
