A tiny rescue dog from Indiana proves that big things really do come in small packages.
Bella, a 5-year-old Yorkshire Terrier from Red Key, Indiana, represented the Hoosier State in the national Pet Lover's Choice Awards.
Bella’s journey began at Grateful Rescue and Sanctuary in Muncie, where Carolyn Pope adopted her two years ago. Although Pope wasn’t actively searching for another dog after losing her Chihuahua Annie, one look at Bella changed everything.
When Grateful Rescue founder Pamela Terhune showed Pope photos of the little Yorkie, she knew there was something special about her.
Bella quickly became part of the family — winning hearts with her expressive eyes, confident personality and signature prance. Pope says Bella loves attention, stays calm in almost any situation and even slept through Fourth of July fireworks.
Carolyn, Bella and Pamela joined Patty Spitler on WISH-TV Daybreak with anchor Pam Elliot.
