It’s a dog’s life, but how long is that?

[snopes]

Q: It has always been said that one year is equal to seven years in a dog’s life, but I’ve known dogs to live 15 or 16 years or more. Is the 1-to-7 ratio accurate?

A: I really had to hound some sources for the answer to this one, and, as it turns out, the seven-year concept isn’t very accurate.

One particular place with a good answer is snopes.com.
