In her latest book, [_Dog Years: Faithful Friends, Then & Now_](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1452137455/ref=as%5Fli%5Fqf%5Fasin%5Fil%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=time037-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1452137455&linkId=d2514271542764a6c191caeaef6680d7), Jones set out to document the lives and stories of 30 dogs she photographed over her career. Inspired by her first dog, Lily, the book features black and white photos of each furry friend at both young and old ages, along with short bios written by the dogs’ human families for an inside look at their personalities. “One thing that remains constant is the love people and dogs have for each other,” Jones wrote. “That does not change, no matter how many dog years go by.”  Corbet from Dog Years Amanda Jones  Lily from Dog Years Amanda Jones  Fred from Dog Years Amanda Jones  Poppy from Dog Years Amanda Jones ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4020790/amanda-jones-book-dog-photography-2/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4020790/amanda-jones-book-dog-photography-2/"},"headline":"These Bittersweet Portraits Show How Puppies Become Grown-Up Dogs","datePublished":"2015-09-24T19:11:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:47:03.069Z","description":"Dog lovers, get your tissues ready","url":"https://time.com/4020790/amanda-jones-book-dog-photography-2/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","Dogs","Books","photography","Fine Art"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltea49105920cfbd9f/698862225f570f6853b1d3ac/dog-years-amanda-jones-lily.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltea49105920cfbd9f/698862225f570f6853b1d3ac/dog-years-amanda-jones-lily.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Amanda Jones - Lily","caption":"Amanda Jones - Lily","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4020790/amanda-jones-book-dog-photography-2/","name":"These Bittersweet Portraits Show How Puppies Become Grown-Up Dogs"}}]}] ```
