My Rescue Dog Bella
This lens is about my adopted dog Bella who I adopted from the pound a few years ago. She is so loyal and sweet. I can always count on her to cheer me up when I am down.

Rescue Animals - No Better Friend
Meet Gracie!
It all started in Cozumel, Mexico in 1999. A little white dog with caramel-colored spots was sitting outside a sidewalk cafe, hoping someone would notice her and give her something to eat ... I saw this little dog demurely sitting on the sidewalk, watching all the people in the cafe eating. I could tell she had recently had puppies because her tummy was still swollen even though she was so thin herself. She ate what was left of my omelet so politely and licked the plate clean so I bought he...
