Pet's Story or Bio
As a pet artist, I hear many incredible stories, but this one tore my heart out! This painting has a special place in my heart, so I want to enter her in this contest. Here is Bella’s story from her owner:

“Bella was adopted by me from South east pug rescue in 2011 when she was 6. She was our first female pug and a total diva. We treated her like a little child and took her everywhere we went. Our whole neighborhood knew her and I adored her. Unfortunately Bella developed cancer when she was 10 and was given a year to live.. but she lived more than 3 years!
The day she passed I cuddled her all day. She passed in my arms at 2:15 AM. She is missed by everyone. That is why this painting is so important to us. It has captured her spirit.”
