    A dog's age is equivalent to seven times a human's age. So a 2 year old dog is like a 14 year old - young, fit, energetic, and horny. An 8 year old dog is like a 56 year old - starting to get old, definitely mellow. By 12 they're really old. Most dogs live about 12-16 years.

    Depends on the breed and depends on the state of health of the dog. Large breeds tend to have shorter lives than small breeds.
