Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2013 10:08 amThe OED has the following entry:
dog year
n. orig. N. Amer. a notional unit of time (typically reckoned as 1/ 7 of a year) based on the supposed ratio between the average lifespan of a dog and that of a human; (hence, in pl.) a (seemingly) long time (cf. dog's age n. at Compounds 3d).
