Like nearly every animal, dogs mature at a different speed. Most dogs die at, say, 10-15 years old (of old age). If you have a 13 year old dog that died of old age, it's not the same as a 13 year old human passing of old age. In dogs, a young adolescent (usually about 15 years in human years) is about 1 year old. A 1 year old human isn't even a preteen! There for, because of these reason, people needed an easier way to calculate dogs' ages. There came dog years!
