Heartwarming Side-By-Side Portraits of Puppies Become Wise Adult Dogs

Photographer Amanda Jones documents the lives of dogs in her book Dog Years: Faithful Friends Then & Now. The artist has been working with animals for over 20 years and, during this time, she’s photographed dogs who are at completely different stages in their lives. Some are young puppies, while others are older and wiser. This age-related transformation is what inspired her to create a heartwarming book of canine portraits.

“A dog’s life is a span that marks so much in our lives,” Jones wrote in her book. “We get them as puppies and they are cute and goofy. Then we teach them and they learn to behave better (sometimes). The connection over time deepens, and as our dogs age, the tides shift and we tend to learn more from their teachings. Life really is better with a dog by your side.”
