Strippers and dogs years

They say dogs age the equivalent of seven years for every one human year. My 49-year-old (in dog years) hound dog is snoring next to me. I’ve had him since he was a puppy. In what seems like a few lazy months, I’ve seen him go from a wide-eyed energetic baby to a sad-looking old man. His eyebrows and chin turned white, and he’s always ready for a nap.
