What is your pet’s name: Bella
Breed/species: Chihuahua
The story: Six years ago, I happened upon Bella at an auction. She had been used in a puppy mill. I bought her so she would never again be caged and abused.
My favorite thing about Bella: She is so devoted to me that she has to be where she can see me at all times, and she lays her head on my arm to sleep.
Bella’s tricks/talent: She sings & turns a certain way so I can pick her up with ease.
Comments: She used to come to work with me every day until the state said she no longer could do that. Since then, she gets so excited thinking she’ll go to the salon with me, but I have to tell her she can’t go and her tiny heart breaks each day. She sits at the back door for hours waiting for me to come home.
To sum up Bella in one word: Lovely
