: My daughters recently heard the phrase "in dog's years" and asked me what it meant. I told them that it meant "a long time" but have been wondering about the origin ever since... could someone help me out on this?

I haven't seen you in dog years. Or a dog's age. Means a long time. But I haven't found out why yet. How long does the average dog live?
