Puppy love for Bella and Walsall officer who adopted unwanted pup

Transcript

00:00I was on full uniform patrol in Walsall Town Centre with my colleague when we found a lady in distress

00:04sat on a bench and she had a carry bag in her hand and she said she had taken a puppy

00:09that she couldn't care for and she had nowhere else to go. So yeah we picked her up and took her

00:15to the Civic and then that's when I got given the go-ahead by the RSPCA and carried out all

00:19the relevant checks. Just looking at her I just knew I had to take her home and I got to keep her.

00:25Bella's settled really well at home, she likes my bed as her bed.

00:29She eats loads, she loves it playing around. I've got an older dog which she plays with and winds

00:35up and they'd snuggle her. We've come back to Walsall today to see all the lovely officers

00:40that helped us and raised funds for Bella's first appointments. We've come to show everyone how well

00:45she's doing and how much she's grown and just how well she's doing really to give everyone peace of

00:50mind at how well she's doing and settled in. Thanks to all the officers that did the collection

00:55that really helped with the first vet bills and all the checks. We've got all her vaccinations

00:59for today and one for chicks. We've started training with agility-based groundwork towards

01:04it to hopefully raise her as old as she can compete. We attended her first fun dog show

01:08yesterday where she won two rosettes. Bella has got lots coming off Santa for Christmas as always,

01:14lots of treats, lots of toys but whether she'll be on the good or bad list yet is yet to be seen.

01:19Bella says her top tip over Christmas is to be kind and enjoy the Christmas season.
