What's up dog?
Bella is the most loving dog, I know everyone says that about their dogs but they are wrong.. she is. She will love on anyone who needs a cuddle. She is so respectful but because if you give her a scratch in the perfect spot she starts gently grumbling in happiness and if you stop too soon a paw will tap you to boss a continuation of her bliss.. and if you do everything right ( which is easy to do) she will trust fall into your arms and then lay back and gaze into your eyes with the most soulful loving chocolate eyes you'll ever see. Bella is so patient, she lets anyone smooch and cuddle her but definitely has her favourites - those who make her tail straighten in excitement from the whipping of her wagging. Customers visit the store on a weekly basis for their Bella cuddles and when she had a litter and her puppies came to the shop, she was still the main attraction because she just loves.. pure heart and soul with a calmness and patience I have never seen in any other dog Her trust falls are unreal and so cute because if she does one you work for her to do them every time
