Pets and people share a very special bond when they grow up together.
Boredpanda showcases the beautiful then and now photos of animals. They compiled a list of pictures of people and their pets growing up and sometimes growing old together.
Because of their shorter lifespans, dogs, cats and other domestic animals tend to grow out of their juvenile forms relatively quickly.
Their shorter lifespans also mean that our beloved pets will invariably become a beautiful lesson in both love and loss.
These photos caught the attention of the online community.
