Our furry friends grow up way faster than we do, so we have no other choice but to grab a camera from time to time to catch those precious moments of their quick transformations. That is exactly what the pet owners from this article did, and the results amazed us to the core.
We at Bright Side found 18 photos of cats and dogs that will remind you of how fast time can fly.

13. “Gus doesn’t seem happy about the changes in Rose.”

11. 6 months later
10. This girl got even bigger than her mommy!
9. “He used to be so small and now his butt doesn’t even fit in my hand.”
