"I'll always be here for you."

About a year ago my nephew went through a pretty nasty period of emotional upheaval. On his road to healing, he stayed with us for a while and we were happy to be able to offer whatever solace we could. Bella did her part, doing what all good dogs do. She helped with his healing by being present.

Now, passing through again and starting a new, happier phase in his life, our nephew joined us for an evening. Bella recognized him immediately and stuck with him nearly the entire 8 hours he was with us. When he started towards the bed, Bella beat him to it.

Although a rather blurry phone shot, this is how Bella works her magic.
