I took care of a dog that was 16, I wanted to get her a Drivers License. That's probably older then half of the people on answers.
Note: after the first dog or cat year, they are more like teenagers then a 7 year old.

The typical lifespan of dogs varies considerably by breed. For example, many giant dog breeds average only 7 or 8 years, while some small terrier breeds might live as long as 20 years. The average lifespan for mixed-breed and midsize dogs is about 13 to 14 years. The longest-lived dog with reliable documentation died at 29 in 1939. ((Wikipedia))

A dogs age is 7 years to 1 year in humans. If your dog is 5 years old that is really 15 years in dog years.

dumbie, think about it, dogs live to like 13-15, so each year equals about 6-8 years in a human.
