If a picture is worth a thousand words, then these adorable photographs have a lot to say! When it comes to 'before' and 'after' animal photos, sometimes the story is what truly makes the images more powerful and wonderful. Sometimes the story comes across and sometimes it doesn't. To see an animal start out small and shy and end up big and confident is truly a magical thing.

All of these before and after photos show growth. Some are hilarious scenarios. Some are inspiring. And some are just heartwarming! And who out of us cannot get a kick out of these beautiful darlings!? Surely, no one.

Give the gift of kindness this holiday season by donating to our Giving Tuesday fundraiser to help homeless pets and animals in need! It's time to pay your cat tax!

Probably the funniest thing about this photo is that the driver has the exact same expression even as time goes by. The dog on the other hand is having a blast and is looking so cute in their little hat! What is important, of course, is safety first- always wear a seat belt.

While some people can find themselves adopting a pet, a lot of us know that what often actually happens is that we got adopted ourselves. What starts as an innocent exchange can turn into a loving companionship. This tweet is a perfect example of this and this still is actually a video so if any of you want to see the full extent of the cuteness, feel free to click on the link to this tweet!
