The idea that you can estimate your dog's 'human age equivalent' by multiplying its dog years by 7 has been shown to be a gross over-simplification, being based only on the rough durations of life in the two species (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/pets/news-features/calculate-dogs-age-human-years/). Dogs actually mature much quicker than humans in their early lives (a dog can breed at around 1 year, but 7 year old humans are not in a position to do so). Later, however, they 'age' much more slowly. Calculators are available.
