Appliance of Science: How old is your dog?

Dogs, like other mammals, pass through similar phases as they age… juvenile, pubescent and adult stages of life.

Often referred to as man’s best friend, we humans tend to build very close bonds with dogs. We also tend to humanise certain aspects of their lives, like their personalities, their emotions and even their age. Many people refer to one dog year being equal to seven human year but it turns out it is not as simple as a little multiplication. So how exactly do dogs age and do you really know how old your dog is?
