Tributes

I looked forward every day to what adventures sweet Belle was doing. She always had fun with her family. She brought a smile to my face and would share with my coworker.  I have her sweet calendar I look at everyday. I was sadden to lose her and not make her birthday.  Belated birthday Irene, you are amazing I thank you for sharing your family with me.

The first picture I ever saw of you and Irene spoke to me…it said “This is the face of love!”. I could literally feel the connection that the two of you had, and although we never met, I felt that I had a connection with you as well. Your story…your beautiful warrior spirit…spoke to my heart and I was forever changed. I will never, ever forget you Little Belle!! My heart is broken that you are gone…I wish that I could hug your beautiful Irene as she goes through the days without you. But I know that the light of your precious life will continue to burn bright and that we are all better people because we knew you and loved you! Love, Tammy, Mobile, Alabama, USA

Little Belle your stories made me forget all the bad things that were happening in the world. You made me smile.

Little Belle, a little sweet star in heaven now.

R.I.P. sweet little girl.

Little Belle you captivated so many hearts around the world by just being you. You will never be forgotten you will always remain in our hearts. Irene provided you the most love and made you comfortable to the very end. I was so grateful to Irene for sharing you with us on your adventures in her pictures and descriptions. The picture or rather video I liked best was when she was holding you and you were smelling the flowers in the spring. I’m sure you will be running on the beach with your brothers and sisters as they will feel your presence. Well done Littke Belle you have your Angel wings.

When I first came across little Belle’s page, I just thought what an adorable little girl saved by an animal lover and having a great life. Little did I know that I would continue to follow her through her journey and adventures with her family. Belle, to me, was what can happen when people step in and stop animal abuse and suffering. Belle showed the world that even after years of abuse and no love that there can be new life. Life with a family that loves you can make up for all the years of no love. Little Belle also proved that no matter how old or sick an animal is they are still worth the effort to save. After she lost her sight you never gave up on her which many would do because of all the extra work it might take for her to become accustomed to a new way of living. I loved seeing her in your arms. Those are my favorite pictures. Without a word you can feel the love and joy in her face and body with you. Following her journey just made me happy. I see so many horrible pictures and stories of animals that are so hurt and abused. It’s depressing because you think there’s just nothing you can do because there is so much evil in this world. All you can do is pray and hug your fur babies every night. I have two babies right now, Sylvester, who is  13years and Sophie, who is 14years, both one day will leave me. I just have to remember that every day could be the last day with them and that I need to shower them with love every day, so that there will be no regrets when that time comes. Sometimes we get lazy and we’re tired and we might push our cat or dog away. But Little Belle’s life tells me that even when I’m tired or frustrated when one of my animals come to me trying to love me up I must stop and let it happen. Animals are God’s way of saying “I can’t be with you down there, so here’s the next best thing.” Our babies never get tired or bored or frustrated with us. All they want is us and we have to stop and let the love flow. Little Belle taught me this and I will never forget her.

Irene – this lovely little girl simply touched a string in my heart and she will hold it for ever

the love you both had for each other was so visible.   I fell in love with both of you

i loved her jumpers too!

she is at peace now and forever young

i am honoured to have shared your time together

thank you.  Silvie x

I found Little Belle’s Instagram two weeks ago and I’m already inspired by the beautiful angel. I wish I found her lovely account sooner because she was and still is so beautiful, kindhearted, and a true angel. Little Belle means a lot to me, I love all dogs but love to the dogs that matter to me the most are special, and she is truly one of them. Little Belle inspires me in so many ways. She teaches other dogs and people that even if they are handicapped, they can still do the what others can. I have a boxer named maddie and she is deaf and if she knew about Little Belle, she would follow her footsteps. Little Belle teaches me a lot of things. She teaches that you should live life to the fullest and always be happy with who you are and never let anyone tell you other wise, because you are beautiful and perfect the way you are, just like Little Belle. The photo I love the most of Little Belle is all of them. Each one tells another chapter of her inspiring story, each challenge she takes, we get to experience it with her. The quote that inspired me the most of Little Belle was “Magic Begins where the heart expands”. It gives me inspiration that you can do anything if you set your mind to it and that love is valuable and you should always cherish it. I would like to say so many things to Little Belle, so here’s a few sentences that I would like to say:

“Little Belle, you are such an inspiring dog, I just found your account a few weeks ago and I wish I found it sooner. I wish you were still down on earth with us because even if I just found out about you I still have tears running down my face, but I’m still happy that you are no longer suffering , you are now a puppy once again, you have your sight, and you are playing with other puppies in heaven, and i hope that you know that your mama Irene is so proud of you for being a strong girl through out your life and that you are now in peace and harmony with god. god bless you Little Belle and one day,  you and Irene will reunite once again and forever be happy.
