In Nottinghamshire, England, a dog was found thrown into the River Farndon with a heavy stone tied to its back. Fortunately, a woman passing by noticed the drowning dog and rushed to her aid. The dog, named Bella, was taken to safety and reported to the authorities. Bella was in terrible condition, covered with ticks and with a severely injured leg.
Despite her condition, Bella showed signs of improvement at the hospital, where she was being treated. The authorities turned to the public for help in finding the perpetrators, and two people were arrested on suspicion. Charlene Latham pleaded guilty to what happened to Bella and was released on bail.
After 15 months in the care of the RSPCA, Bella found a new home with Maggie Mellish and Charlie Douglas. The couple, who had previous experience with dogs of the same breed, promised to offer Bella the loving home she deserved. Bella’s story touched the hearts of animal lovers around the world, and her recovery is a reminder of the resilience of animals and the importance of showing kindness and compassion towards them.
