Bella is a 8 year old Jack Russell Terrier in Fort Wayne , IN, who needs $1,500 for Tumor Removal and Dental Surgery.

I saw Bella in a field across the street from the prison where I worked in the desert in Cali. She was inches away from 55 mile an hour freeway. I pulled over and she ran into the field. For 3 days,I sent my colleague to McDonald’s. She could not reach any water, without falling into a drainage ditch that was full of green, slimy irrigation runoff. I left some water and a blanket and cried.

Bella had breast cancer when I was able to catch her. It was removed by the end of the first week. She has been a healthy and well loved dog. I am being treated for malignant brain tumor, And Bella goes with me to all my appointments. Where she entertain doctors and patients alike. Every three weeks we do a three day marathon trip from Fort Wayne, Indiana to Boston and straight back.

Bella is half Chihuahua and half Jack Russell. She loves everybody and enjoys sleeping behind my knees under the blankets. Her play bow comes quickly in the mornings. As my ability to move has decreased, She has taken to just sitting by my side until somebody takes her for a ride or a walk for physical and cerebral stimulation.she hides under the bed because she doesn’t want to leave me.

Bella has been diagnosed with breast cancer again. I’m not working, And we are currently living on my son’s unemployment. She needs another operation.
