When trying to compare your dog’s age to human age, it’s one year in a dog’s life equals seven human years, right? Not so fast there, you!
The American Veterinary Medical Association breaks it down a little differently. They say at the end of a dog’s first year of life, s/he is the equivalent of a human teenager, about 15 years.

Are you old enough to know who Mrs. Kravitz is? Gladys Kravitz was a recurring character on the ancient Bewitched show.
