More: Puppies are cute and all but senior dogs deserve recognition too! Bella is a nearly 15 year old rescue who has brought joy to our family. The story of her rescue is a long one, but I drove from NY to TN after falling in love with her picture on the internet. My husband thought I was crazy to pick up a dog I didn’t meet beforehand, but she was perfect from the very start. Now he tells Bella that HE sent me to get her!
