Bella is an adorable English Bulldog with a nature as placid as her sweet face suggests! Thanks to this gentle temperament, her owner regularly takes her to visit a local care home.
And while the charming dog is a real hit with all the residents and is exceptionally well-behaved, she has also developed a special bond with one man in particular.
A perfect walking companion
Every Saturday, Bella visits the nursing home, bringing joy to the seniors who love her company. But while she is sweet to everyone, she has clearly formed a special attachment to one elderly gentleman, who seems to feel the same way.
Although he has difficulty getting around, the man loves to take hold of Bella's pink lead. With his walking stick in hand, he strolls along with the young dog, who perfectly matches his pace.
The power of pets
A true source of comfort, Bella the Bulldog never tires of cuddles from her "grandad", and she undoubtedly brings him a great deal of joy!
The benefits of having pets around elderly people are well-documented. In France, where this story takes place, a new law called “Bien Vieillir” (Ageing Well) now gives residents in care homes the right to have a pet with them.
