If you've raised a puppy before, then you know perfectly well they grow up too fast. (I guess some would say this about children, too.) Suddenly one day, your cuddly pup isn't too small for its massive, floppy paws and knows how to use them to knock over even the heaviest of garbage cans. This time-lapse captures the transformation of Sophia, a Rhodesian ridgeback, as she matures from a totally adorable 2 month-old puppy into an elegant 3-year-old dog in only 23 seconds.

If your initial reaction is outrage that your pooch never tolerates your photo attempts this well, just watch until the bloopers at the end — you'll feel better.
