Yesterday was National Puppy Day and all the users of Imgur were joining in on sharing images of their adorable puppies, whether they are puppies or images of their dogs when they were puppies. And it was overwhelming with cuteness. You couldn't escape the cuteness, but again, why would you want to?

In honor of National Puppy Day, we decided to feature one puppy, Nelson, or dubbed "the golden potato," and his glorious transformation from golden derp to older golden derp. Thank you to Imgur user RealisticDOc98807 for sharing these adorable images, you've brought some golden light into all our lives.

Watch Nelson grow over the course of 10 months below!

Would you look at that puppy! That is a golden potato if we ever saw one! Golden retrievers are known to be one of the happiest dog breeds around, they're also said to not be the most intelligent but they sure make up for it in heart and love. We adore goldens.

Look at this distinguished gentleman! Nelson has grown so much in such a short amount of time! This is the case with all babies, animals, or humans, the first year there's tremendous growth. OK, the growth is definitely much quicker in animals.
