Dog Years misconception

It is a popular misconception that 1 dog year equals 7 human years. It actually depends on the relative size or weight of the dog and life stage they are at. For instance, a Jack Russell of age 13 would be approximately 66 in human years, whereas a Saint Bernard would be nearer 83.
