Here’s a better way to convert dog years to human years

Here's a better way to convert dog years to human years, scientists say 11-15-19

So the relationship between the two functions is not linear, but logarithmic. Also, if we assume that humans age at a linear rate, we may possibly find that another species, compared to us, biologically ages at a varying rate over time. Math is fun and interesting for people who are open to it.

Conversion from one thing to another is not always linear. For example, translating the New Testament from Greek to English is not a linear, word for word process. Many words and grammar and syntax and connotations do not equally exist in both languages. The end result varies according to the various schools of translation ideation, and none will be both faithful to the original language, and comprehensible in the target language.

Thanks for the interesting topic!

Another interesting angle on the subject; mammal species averaging roughly a billion heartbeats over an average lifetime, more or less.

Or you can look at the chart at your veteranarians office.

Little dogs tend to out live big dogs and breed also matters. Sometimes litter size matters too. The seventh pup from a 6 tit mom tends to die earlier that the others.
A one dog litter dog tends to die sooner too.

Dobermans for example tend to pass before the 11th year where a small dog like a Chihuaua can make it to 15 or 20. So perhaps size plays a role?
Outdoor dogs life spans are not as long as indoor/outdoor dogs as well.

But like humans, better care and food is extending the typical life span of the animal known as mans best friend.

What about cats?
