A 7-year-old dog is not simply '49': it depends on the species and the size. Here is an estimate based on current veterinary guidelines.

How this is calculated
The first year is worth about 15 human years, the second about 9 more. After that, each year adds 4 (small dogs) to 7 (giant breeds): larger dogs age faster.
Based on: American Veterinary Medical Association and American Animal Hospital Association.
