45 Wholesome Pictures That Show The Adorable Glow-Up From Puppy To Dog

Our dogs are our family. I don’t have kids, but I swear I have more pictures of my dog on my phone than my friends with kids have of their own children. Time flies—especially for dogs. One minute, they’re tripping over their own paws, and before you know it, they’re fully grown and looking at you like they pay the rent.

Looking back at puppy pictures side-by-side with their grown-up selves is a wild ride that’s equal parts heartwarming and bittersweet. That’s why the “From Puppy to Dog” subreddit is such a treasure trove of wholesome content. It’s the perfect place to scroll and get hit with all the feel-good feels.
