Some dogs are just more human than canine and four-year-old Bella, a Wirehaired Terrier-Labrador mix is one of them.
Tiffany Dunn describes her Bella as a thrilling mix of sassy, smart, loyal and playful. “She has a mad personality and is oh, so beautiful.”
Bella is also quite the performer and can do a little dance, stand, walk on two feet, sit and give her paw on command.
“We talk to her like she’s human and she totally understands. Listens better than my human kids. She knows who daddy, mommy, brother and sissy is,” says Tiffany.
Bella is much loved and the centre of attention in the Dunn household. “Honestly we spoil her so much its crazy. She is so special and even my husband who isn’t an animal lover, loves her to death. She truly is one of a kind,” Tiffany says.
An energetic and fun-loving girl, Bella loves to run back and forth really fast, something that has now been termed as “Bella go ZIPPY”.
“She also loves to roll in the grass when I put her in cute outfits. Also hates posing for pictures. I think I took too many – she is such a brat she won’t look at the camera when she’s not in the mood,” Tiffany says.
Despite having her own bed and sleeping area, Bella prefers snuggling up to her brother and sister. “She only sleeps there when she’s in one of her moods and wants to be left alone,” Tiffany says.
Easy to please, Bella loves all the food she’s fed although her firm favourites are apples, dog treats and Rachel Ray food, Tiffany says.
She’s a tiny little girl with a big personality. She may not be instantly friendly with strangers but she’s no biter either. “She thinks she’s our protector with all of her 15 pounds of muscle,” Tiffany says, laughing.
“She is my love bug and I really couldn’t imagine not having her by my side.”
