Coors Light to cover adoption fees for your furry cuddle buddy this Valentine’s Day

A Better 'Dog Years' Calculation Is Presented by Researchers. Dog lovers likely know the old adage that one dog year is equal to seven human years. Researchers from UCSD have shown that this measurement is a bit arbitrary. . They studied the age indicator molecules attached to the DNA of 104 Labrador retrievers. They discovered that the rate of aging in the adolescent and mature Labs was much faster than in humans. Younger and older Labs, though, aged at a rate that is more similar to humans.

Coors Light is sharing the love ahead of Valentine’s Day by doing its part to help you take home a fur-covered companion.

The beer company, which has a brewery in Albany, announced it is covering 1,000 dog adoption fees now through Feb. 21.
