Know how we all think a dog's age is calculated as 7 dog years for every human year....... but according to more recent research, the AKC says it is more like the following, although it does vary depending on breed and size:

15 human years equals the first year of a medium-sized dog’s life.
Year two for a dog equals about nine years for a human.
And after that, each human year would be approximately five years for a dog.
