A dog's life: Scientists find new formula for canine ageDogs, humans and in fact all mammals experience the same developmental timeline: birth, infancy, youth, puberty and death. Dogs, humans and in fact all mammals experience the same developmental timeline: birth, infancy, youth, puberty, adulthood and death. The scientists were able to devise a more complex formula that better matches the canine-human life stages -- but you'll need a scientific calculator to figure it out. The formula is "human age = 16 * ln (dog age) + 31," and you can also use Google to try it for yourself (remember it's l for "log" and then n for "natural," all lowercase). Labradors' average lifespan is 12 years, which also roughly corresponds to human life expectancy of 70 years.
