Dog years, nonsense?

[vanordinaire]

This is Misty,just back from a five mile run/cycle this morning (I was on the bike, she was running). Today is her 14th birthday or 98 in 'dog years'.
Clearly the method of multiplying a dog's age by 7 to get an equivalent human age is nonsense. I seem to remember some sort of graduated scale (eg. the first few years are equivalent to 10 human years, the next few to 7 years , and the rest about 4 years. Has anyone else heard of this and if so, how exactly do you do the calculation? And should she be thinking of retirement and getting a Honda Jazz?
