who or what is Bella

Bella is a really sweet dog that is part German shepherd and part Labrador retriever.  Bella is my pathway to independence.  She will become my caretaker, my partner, a loyal friend.  She will assist me as I try to navigate the world as it is for me. Bella will support me as I stand and walk.  She will warn me of obstacles and dangers. Bella will get things for me, pick things up for me.  And make it feel like I am more functional in this badly broken body.  Bella is just 10 months old, and as I heard from the trainer yesterday is very much still a puppy.  Although she's quite large, and at this time weighs over 50 pounds he still has a lot of growing up to do.but that is okay because at times I feel like I still have a lot of growing up to do.  Also.  So Bella and I are going to learn and grow together.  I will learn how to embrace my new normal.  Which includes learning how to enjoy life with only half of a functional body and only half of normal vision.  But having Bella comes with a price.  There are several things that Bella and I will need. there is equipment.  We will need such as a harness and an invisible fence.  We will need service dog identification for Bella, so that if I encounter resistance as I go through my day with Bella.  People will understand who and what she is.  Bella is my service dog.

Bella looked just as uncertain as I am.

Bella and I have a trainer who will train Bella and then trained me how to work with Bella.this will be a new experience for both of us.  we both have a lot to learn.  When I went to look at her at the adoption center.  I wasn't really sure that she was the dog for me.  Yet when I was there, the man behind me in line mentioned wanting to look at Bella and I found myself suddenly saying," I am here adopt Bella" and this is where the story begins.  Bella came home with me that day and I began to fall in love with this not so pretty.  over excited but yet loving and giving puppy.  It turns out that Bella needed me as much as I needed her.  It was as if Bella had been at the pound waiting for me.  This wonderful dog had been at the adoption center for over four months and she needed a family.  Was this the dog that God wanted to have have, I began to wonder?  Weeks later when I was meeting with the trainer.  He said something that surprised me.  is Luther, the trainer, said to me," it seems like you and Bella were meant to be together.  It makes me think that God wanted you to have this dog."  so  the adventure begins .
