Bella, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bella
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Female Breed: Border Collie
Home: Takoma Park, Maryland, USA
 
   Bella is a rescue Border Collie who came to live with us at four months of age. Unfortunately, a week after we adopted her, three pit bulls came out of a gate and attacked her while I was walking her down the street. It was a horrible nightmare, but thankfully she survived. The dogs broke the growth plate in her left leg and she needed corrective surgery. She has scars all over her body (which are not visible because of her long hair).

    However, even through this terrible ordeal, she has an incredible disposition and loves other dogs and people. She loves life, is always happy and ready to play. In typical Border Collie fashion, she is very intelligent, learns very quickly and is sometimes stubborn and/or bossy. That's alright though - Bella is our miracle girl and is the sweetest dog we have ever known.
