Incredibull Stella : how the love of a pit bull rescued a family

Meeks, Marika (author.). Ridley, Elizabeth, (author.).

Summary: "Marika Meeks fell in love with Stella the moment she saw her. The adorable pit bull puppy had been abandoned in a cold field in winter - but her warm, friendly eyes and boundless affection could melt anyone's heart. Even so, Marika wasn't sure she was ready to adopt a dog. As a busy entrepreneur, wife, and mother of two daughters, Marika's life was crazy already. She was recovering from stage-three breast cancer, and her family was still reeling from her brush with mortality. But Marika couldn't deny the way Stella made her feel - the pure joy of this sweet-natured dog's unconditional love - and she knew in her heart what her family needed... In a leap of faith, the Meekses welcomed Stella into their home, and thanks to this incredible dog, the daily pressures of work, stress, and Marikas health problems seemed to slip away. As Marikas cancer receded and her family found renewed vitality, she began sharing Stellas story with the world. Now an international social media star, Stella helps Marika to spread their heartfelt message of advocating for pit bull breed awareness, explaining the benefits of pet ownership, and supporting shelters and other organizations that save animals lives. If youve ever experienced the joy that only an animal can bring - or felt the healing power of a pets unconditional love - youre going to adore Incredibull Stella."--Back cover.
