HER. part of our routine. SHE'D COME OVER EVERYDAY AND SHE And when she disappeared for a few days... LITERALLY JUST BECAME A PART OF OUR ROUTINE. not seeing her just didn't feel right... SO WHEN SHE DIDN'T COME OVER, WE REALLY NOTICED. Seth was sad she was gone. WE'D FIND OURSELVES FENCE, He was hoping at any moment... HOPING AND WONDERING WHEN WE'D SEE HE'D SEE HER COME THROUGH THAT HOLE IN THE FENCE. HER AGAIN. DIDN'T SHOW UP, We realize she wasn't our dog. SETH REALLY MISSED HER.

A year ago, Bella wasn’t our dog. She was just the little dog who had started becoming a very important part of our days. ❤️ We didn’t realize it at the time, but we were already noticing when she wasn’t around. And Seth…he really missed her. 🥹 Looking back now, it’s kind of amazing to see how it all started. We had no idea how much this little dog was about to change our lives. ❤️🐾 And tomorrow…you’ll see what happened next. 👀 #HereComesBella #BellaTheDog #DogLove #HeartwarmingDogs #DogLovers @realsethkarnes
