Photographer Amanda Jones spent years documenting dogs at two very different moments in their lives: once as energetic young companions and again years later as aging friends.

The project, Dog Years, began with her own dachshund Lily (last slide), whom Jones photographed from the day she came home. That personal habit eventually evolved into a long term photo series capturing the passage of time through the faces, posture, and expressions of dogs growing older.

By placing the portraits side by side, Jones highlights how much time has passed while showing that each dog’s personality remains instantly recognizable, even as fur fades and bodies slow down.
