Bella: The Little Furry Chiweenie Who Saved Our Lives: An Inspirational Story About Love, Resilience, and Healing

By Michael Whelan

What do you do when you've been battling cancer...
and the rest of your world is crashing down on you?

You wear a hot pink Hawaiian shirt to your final chemo treatment and you have conversations with your little dog Bella, who just happens to talk back. Sometimes with sass. Sometimes with humor. And always with heart.

"She had that effect... turning grief into something you could actually sit with, breathe through, maybe even giggle at."

"Being strong means showing up, even when you don't feel strong. And letting someone else fall apart without trying to glue them back together in a hurry." Bella

Bella is a heartwarming, whimsical, and deeply emotional tale about love, resilience, and the unexpected ways healing finds us.

When Michael, a weary three-time cancer survivor and full-time caregiver to his wife Rebecca, reaches the end of his chemotherapy, his quiet rescue dog Bella does the impossible-she speaks.

What follows is a tender, funny, and life-affirming journey between a man, his talking dog, and the woman they both adore.

As Rebecca bravely battles Parkinson's, Bella becomes more than a companion-she's a guide, a therapist, and the emotional glue holding them together. With snarky wit, surprising wisdom, and boundless loyalty, Bella helps this struggling couple find light in the darkest moments.

Told with raw honesty, humor, and a touch of magic, Bella is a love story-not just between man and dog, but of a family clinging fiercely to grace, laughter, and each other when everything feels like it's falling apart.

It will bring many smiles through just a few tears.
