- Dog owners around the world shared adorable then and now photos of their pets
- Pictures taken over the years reveal how the tiny puppies grew into adult dogs
- Playful owners recreated the same poses but struggled under their dogs’ weight
These adorable then and now pictures capture adorable puppies growing into even cuter adult dogs.
Proud owners posed for photos with their beloved pooches, with many holding and carrying their dogs like they did when they were just puppies.
The heart-warming snaps show owners struggling under the weight of their hefty huskies and sizeable Samoyeds, or being squished beneath a rather large St Bernard.
Others allowed the dogs to take centre stage and appear alone in the images to reveal just how much they have grown.
