How old is your dog?
A popular old wives' tale claims that one year
of a dog's life is equal to seven human years. This has been proven to be false.
For example, dogs are capable of reproducing at around one year of age, but a
seven year old child is far from sexually mature. Veterinarians have now come up
with a much more realistic comparison between human and dog years.
