Bella's Dash

Afraid and weak, an abandoned mama dog and her six-pack of wee pups are in dire need. Bella, a tenacious furball, is destined for great things, though she doesn't know it yet. It isn't long before she chooses her humans: a retired firefighter and his wife, a former witness in protection, who themselves are searching for the missing piece of their hearts. Bella's imprint touches all who know her during her short journey through the world.

You'll cry, cheer and laugh your way through the profound emotional impacts that lead to transformation from grief and trauma to joy and health. Bella's Dash and the Pack is a collection of true stories about the power and purpose of adopting the otherwise forgotten, while gaining immeasurable love and hope.
