A U.S. Air Force dog identified as Jony, serving with the 20th Security Forces Squadron, has retired after nine years (or 68 dog years) of distinguished service, the U.S. Department of Defence has said.


Pentagon, in a statement, said Jony retired due to a compressed disc in his spine, and has been permanently put in the hands of its handler, Air Force Staff Sergeant Anthony Despins, a military working dog handler, who met Jony as his first canine partner in 2012.

What is a "Dog Year"?

One breath, you talked of 9 years...
The next is this being equal to 68 Dog years....

There is a difference between "a dog age" and "human age"

A dog died in far far obodo America. And we are being told about it here in Nigeria. I saw this post since last night. I slept. I woke up. I still don't see the relevance.

MORAL LESSON
CEPEBRATE YOUR OWN
CELEBRATE OUR MILITARY
CELEBRATE OUR PATRIOTS
An animal is celebrated in America
In my father's land
. Humans with animalistic behaviours are celebrated while the human beings are treated like animals.
God help us when we start helping ourselves.

That means a dog year is approximately fifty days.

Could it mean a dog year is about the time it takes for a bitch to carry her pregnancy to term?

Does that mean that for every 1 human year, it's equivalent to about 7.5 dog year.

That's cool, just learnt something new.

Some information is out of place then. The nine years and sixty-eight years is not tallying
There has to be a link at least.

Still trying to understand how the death of a US Air Force dog is a relevant story on Nairaland.
