I tried to use the Pedigree dog-to-human age calculator but it doesn't go up to 31 so your guess is as good as mine..

Most charts stop at 16, which shows how remarkable this is. As it's a curve not a straight line it's unclear if you can keep extrapolating but over 16 dogs seem to largely fall into the equivalent of people in their 80s.

This suggests 16 * ln(31) + 31 which gives 86 and doesn't seem old enough for the oldest dog ever.
