Everyone who has owned a dog from a young age knows how quickly they grow from a tiny, excitable puppy into a bigger adult dog. 

In a series of adorable snaps, pet owners have dug out old canine clothes and toys to see just how much their fur babies have changed since they first came home.  

Bored Panda has compiled a gallery of some of the cutest examples, from a Great Dane who used to be the same size as his toy to another wearing his former jumper which now only fits around his nose.
