Dog Years

They say a dog year equal 7 human years. 
In dog years am I 434 years old, or
am I 8.8571428 years old?
I can’t figure out if I multiply
or divide.  I guess, since I am not a dog
it doesn’t matter.  I do, however, get the
urge from time to time to bay at the moon.
I’ve lost the urge to chase after car tires,
even walking has lost its allure.  I do
still enjoy a good long tummy rub.  I could
learn new tricks for an ice cream treat,
and I still love to hear you call my name.
