The video explains that a one-year-old puppy is not equivalent to a seven-year-old child but is more like a 30-year-old adult. This is based on the wear and tear on their DNA. Dogs, particularly Labradors, age rapidly at first, with a doggy Bar Mitzvah occurring around 4 or 5 months. Their aging process then slows down. While a 10-year-old dog is comparable to a 70-year-old human, a 15-year-old dog is not over 100 in human years but is more like 80.
