Thank You — To Our Chosen Family

This story is not only about Bella.
It is also about the people who loved her like their own.

To the friends who became family.
To the homes that welcomed her.
To the hands that held her when we couldn’t.
To the hearts that broke with ours.

Thank you for the walks, the playdates, the sleepovers, the patience, the laughter, and the tears.

Thank you for showing Bella love in a hundred small ways — and for showing us that family is not always who you’re born to, but who stands with you when it matters most.

Bella knew she was loved.
That was because of you.

We will never forget it.

Some dogs pass through our lives.

But once in a while, a soul arrives who changes the way we love, the way we live, and the way we heal.

Bella was that soul.

And she will always be ours.
