Reply to comment by Fando1234 in [OC] Your Dog's Real Age by PieChartPirate

i was taught 1 year is 7 dog years

for some reason this graph wants me to believe 1 year is TWENTY dog years, but somehow 5 is 60, and after a point they just stop aging and become immortal i guess?

goofy ass graph and its not even consistent. this looks like if a kid had to make his own graph about how old he thinks dogs are

dogs are fertile at 1, humans are not fertile at 7.

agree the graph makes no sense though.

yeah i think at any rate giving different species some equivalent age doesnt really work. but i find 1 to 7 to work better than whatever this graph was

The 1 year = 7 dog years thing is a decent approximation for converting the age of an older dog to a human age. However, dogs develop at a higher rate in their first year or so than in their later years. Your conclusion is pretty accurate
