Time-Lapse: Watch A Rhodesian Ridgeback Grow From A Puppy To Adult In 23 Seconds [Video]


It doesn’t take long for that adorable puppy you brought home to turn into a much larger (but still equally adorable) family pet. However, Greg Coffin shows in just 23 seconds what it looked like for his Rhodesian Ridgeback to grow from a 2-month-old puppy to a 3-year-old dog.

The video went viral with dog lovers from around the world wishing they had the same video of their prized pooch. The video has been viewed over 1.2 million times, and has dog lovers swooning. The video shows all the subtle changes leading up to a much bigger dog. In the adorable time-lapse video, you see Coffin’s Ridgeback, Sophia, as she transitions into an adult dog. Coffin was able to achieve the video by taking photos of Sophia as she grew. However, the photos had to be taken by the same backdrop and required Sophia to pose the same way each time. This proved to be challenging, as you can see from the outtakes.

Some people were concerned that the dog had its tail between its legs too often in the photos. However, as many pointed out, this is common for Rhodesian Ridgebacks and is not a sign that the dog is in distress.

“Sweet video and some real Ridgeback moments in the out takes. Don’t worry about the tail folks, Ridges are sight hounds and often tail tuck, especially females.”
