To heck with babies!
First of all, I personally don’t think there is anything sweeter than seeing a pupper and their person grow together. May it be a child with their puppy, or an adult growing and changing alongside their doggo. We’re always transitioning to the next point in our lives, what could ease the stress more than having a special canine pal to experience these changes with.
Secondly, who doesn’t want to see a stupidly cute pupper-to-doggo, and a kiddo-to-adult transition that’ll warm up your insides for Winter?

#4. “Me and my dog literally grew up together.”

(Picture on the left: Me at age 1 when Polar was a month old. Picture on right: Me at age 17 years old when Polar was 16 years old)”

“The first picture is a bit after Christmas when we got her, and she started hitting the pre-teen puppy days. The second is her when she’s a little more than a year old. She still begs to be picked up like this every time I come home, and when my arms get tired, I lay her on her back and rub her stomach.”

The second photo was taken a few weeks ago when I came home during a break from school: She’s 5 now, and I’m almost 20. Time has flown by way too fast!”

#32. “This is Roxas, a pup I never expected to have, but could never imagine my life without him.”
“I got him New Year’s Eve, 2016, and we have been inseparable since. He was barely two months when I adopted him, and he took a liking to being on my shoulder, much like a pirate. Well, two years and a divorce later, not much has changed with him, he still likes to be the Parrot dog.”
33. “My girl, Laci.”

“She is a Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix. She’s about three weeks old in the picture on the left and a little over a year old in the picture on the right. She was abandoned, so we got her at two weeks old and had to bottle feed her. She has been the biggest blessing in our lives. Nova is the weirdest, most loving pupper and we couldn’t imagine our lives without her weirdness.”
#40. “My baby girl Tully on New Years Eve 2015 and 2017.”
#41. “Gus the Goldendoodle.”
#42. “I have had Bentley for around 13 years now. We got him when I was 4, and now I’m graduating high school in June and turning 18 in November.”
“Bentley has had health issues his entire life (allergies, tumors, etc.), but thankfully has managed to beat them all and has grown to be such an amazing dog.”
Recently, Bentley had to get emergency surgery which caused him to lose a lot of his mobility, but through physical therapy and a lot of courage, he’s been able to get back on his feet slowly. I know that he doesn’t have much time left, but he lives each and every day with a smile and a spring in his step!”
Everyone I know can confirm that Bentley is the sweetest, kindest, calmest, and funniest Labradoodle there ever was, and he has been the absolute best friend in my life. I love him so much, and everyone in the world deserves to know who Bentley is and to know that he is the good-est boy there ever was.”
