This is Bella, she is a very special dog who has had a crazy first year of life….At 9 weeks old Bella and her owners were out for a walk, they were approached by a person walking 2 rotti x’s the lady proceeded to yell from a distance that her dogs were friendly about at the same moment they broke out of her grip, they attacked Bella as well as one of her owners who was trying to protect there 10yr old daughter. Bella ended up with a Punctured lung, and many more bites all over her tiny 9 week old body, it was unclear if she would survive…Well she did they say she will live a normal puppy life but very scary and thousands of dollars in vet bills later….about 5 months later, Bella’s owners were away and had gotten some friends to puppy sit….the friends took Bella Camping and suddenly Bella was very ill, vomiting and seizing they rushed her to the vet and after a very hairy 24hrs of seizing and such they stabilized her, they figure she got into the crab bait and had sever salmonella poisoning….now almost a year old bella is healthy and happy with only minor side effects caused by her past…..
