"They age really rapidly as puppies compared to older canine adults," said Dr. Trey Ideker, professor of Genetics in the Department of Medicine at UC San Diego and lead investigator of the study.
The chemical tags that the scientists studied are added to DNA with aging. This age-related change is called methylation and occurs in every species, including humans. Because these canines live so closely with humans, they encounter many of the same environmental exposures that humans do and about the sameuse. Given these similarities, Ideker said,"Dogs are just a fantastic model for healthy aging."
They said multiply human years by seven lmao, like humans travel around the sun at a different pace then everything else on the planet.
Wow... is giving us some hard hitting news tonight. First a rerun of UFO videos, now this? Stop. It's all too overwhelming. 🙄
Meh...
Lorne Greene is spinning in his grave.
we've known this, why is it just now in the news?
Count the rings on their tongues?
Fuck that I'm multiplying by 7
I just keep the receipt when I bought the dog. Current year - year on receipt = dog's age.
Isn’t it simpler to go with their age instead of giving it a human scale? My dog is six (acts like two) and I don’t want to think of him as a 40+ year old.
This is a better use of your Twitter
Shut tf up. x7 has worked just fine for us lmao
How about just by human years which is what really matters.
What is the more accurate way to determine a dogs age? It didn’t really give you a concrete way to figure it out unless I missed something
One would think scientists would hve something more important to do, like finding a solution to the cv virus
'a nine-month-old Labrador retriever can have puppies . . . So you see in our model that those 9-month-old labs are actually like 25-year-old women.' What? This researcher needs to go back to sex-Ed 101. Menstruation typically happens at least 10 years prior to age 25. 🤦🏻♀️
Seems flawed just looking at this comment - Ideker said, 'a nine-month-old Labrador retriever can have puppies . . . So you see in our model that those 9-month-old labs are actually like 25-year-old women.' 14 year old female humans can give birth, what planet is this guy on?
This didn’t really tell me how old my dog actually is
Posting the same article twice in the same day?
Anyone with any knowledge of dogs has known the formula of multiplying actual years by 7 is a crock of shit and nothing but a wives tale. Smdh
Yeah no kidding but the 7 years rule of thumb gets you in the ball park, does it really matter!

Do they really think 25 is when humans can start having kids? They are off by like 10 years. Not sure how much I trust this.
And, no where in this article is the formula. A link in the article takes one to a page where a number can be entered into a calculator, but it is also lacking the formula. I would like to see the math.
Is that what money is boing spent? What's wrong with, you know , counting the years a dog lived? A Labrador lives about 12 years , of it's 5 , that means it has roughly 7 years left. Done!

We know, you posted this same story 8 hours ago... DEFINITELY the important news we need on the Fourth of July, which you haven't even acknowledged... Disney is hilarious
My vet says my dog is 7 and he knows because I took them there first when they were a puppy.
I rent a dog

I want to strangle whoever set off fireworks in the park across my street tonight, taking months off my poor little Loki’s life. He’s fearless but they were the loudest I’ve ever heard. It took 45min for my panicked boy to stop shaking in my arms in the slightly quieter basement.
Does it consider size & breed? We know chihuahuas live a lot longer than great danes.
Stopped when I read this: So you see in our model that those 9-month-old labs are actually like 25-year-old women. Do not know who wrote the article but Women can have babies WAY B4 25.
This guy looks like my Poor BooBoo who cancer took from us
How about if they have been alive for one year then they are one year old!? .....just saying.
I always take care of my Bears!
This is not 'new'... The idea that a dog ages 20 or more human years in its first year has been obvious for decades.
Bitch . BillClinton You best be worried about GhislaineMaxwell flapping them gums . u know she knows EXACTLY WHAT 'CUBBY' HOLE the tapes & recordings are hidden in FBI the copy of a copy. INSURANCE policy 4 real HillaryClinton SDNYnews i TRULY HOPE y'all nail this freak BC
well thank fcking god! at least with cancer and covid and every other issue included widespread police violence we have in this world we can at least rest assured we will more accurately know the age of a goddamn dog. thanks! abc. journalism at its finest
dogs deserve to live as long as we do. this is depressing
VanessaGullien
If y'all don't stop fuckin around and solve the COVID!!!
Yeah that’s two confusing I’m just going to compare my dogs age to 7 human years
They age so well because they are happy.
Just jugging out content...if it isn't anti-Trump its about animals...this network just needs to call it quits....Liberals Biden2020 Clinton FakeNewsMedia
What a show
Have they found out who's a good boy/girl?
There are only two dog ages. Alive and on a farm up north
