Look how they’ve grown! These enjoyable ‘before and after’ photos of family pets, some of them taken as selfies and others together with family members or other best furry friends are really fun to see. Time goes by but as the well-known quote from the ‘Calvin and Hobbes” comic strip goes, “things are never quite as scary when you’ve got a best friend”. Definitely.
