This is my understanding of it...
Year 1 - The dog ages to early teens.
Year 2-??? Dog ages approx 6.5 dog years to every human year.
So when you factor in the first year with the rest of their life, it averages out to probably about 7 dog years per human year, but like I said, it's more of a rule of thumb.

Thanks for doing the math for us! :)
Doggie update - he's still with us, he and I had a nice long nap on the couch together. He looked very comfortable all snuggled into me. And he's awake now (took a healthy piss outside and no I won't update you every time he takes a piss). But I couldn't get him to take any water, I'm gonna try again with the eyedropper, he'll usually take it that way. If he doesn't snap out of this bad time...well I'll let y'all know. Thanks for being there for me all of you.
