Cyndie, while watching Cesar Millan, the “Dog Whisperer”, heard him trying to clarify the concept of “dog years” .  He indicated that each dog year is thought to be 7-7 1/2 human years by researchers at the University of Phoenix (on line) and others.  Cyndie wondered how that translated to owl years or even if any research had been done.  Maybe this could be the subject for her doctoral thesis . . . .  David, Sf.G.
