Bella has become a local entertainer
During this past school year, until schools closed, Bella visited the classes of children with special needs. Some of the children were on the autism spectrum, others had suffered emotionally, or had hyperactivity disorder.
When schools shifted to remote learning, Bella and her owner, Howard, began meeting children when they would go for walks. The families in their neighborhood learned that Bella is a therapy dog and asked Howard if Bella could have socially-distanced visits with their children. Bella knows lots of tricks and has been keeping the neighborhood children entertained.
