If you’re not living under a rock, you’ve likely seen your friends on social media posting their own photos as part of the “10 Year Challenge.” This “challenge” calls on people to share their profile photos from 10 years apart, often their first and their most recent side-by-side, to compare how they’ve aged.

But once again, the internet has found that anything can be made better with dogs!

iHeartDogs recently challenged our friends on Facebook to show us how their dogs have aged, and we got precious puppy photos paired with pics of dogs who have grown wonderfully! Some are seniors, some are on their way, but every photo shows that with age comes beauty!

Check out some of the most incredible transformations shared with us below. Add your photo to the comments on iHeartDogs’ Facebook page!

“This is Snyper, we rescued him from the same shelter Sarge came from. We took him in at 4 weeks old, but only had him overnight before he broke with parvo. It was very touch and go but we finally got to bring him home when he was six weeks old. I bottle fed him protein shakes, and carried him around in my hoodies to keep him warm. Now at 9 years old, you would never guess he had such a rough beginning to life. He is spoiled rotten just like his big fur brother, but deserves it all. ❤️❤️”
