If you need a break from all the upsetting things happening in the world right now, watch this super adorable time-lapse video that shows a Rhodesian Ridgeback grow from a 2-month-old puppy into a 3-year-old adult.

Oh, and if you’re wondering how she was so cooperative, be sure to check out the bloopers at the end.
