Hairy Love

What is it about dogs that enables them to be cute even in old age? The 'seven-dog-years-to every-human-year' yardstick puts ours at about 75, but we are all happy to nuzzle her, have our faces licked, etc. Why doesn't it work like this for people? I can't imagine enjoying being licked by a 75 year old of any sex. Bob suggests it might be because she is hairy, but I'm not so sure. A hairy 75 year old? With eight nipples? I don't think so.
