It is with great sadness that I share with you that my niece's pit bull, Bella, lost her fight today.

It is exactly six months since the first tumor was discovered.

The oncologist said that she had never seen a case like this one, in so young a dog.

Over the three years of Bella's life she had several unexplained infections and antibiotics seemed to cure her - but they reoccured.

The oncologist thinks that perhaps Bella was born with cancer.

Rest in peace, sweet Bella, free of any pain and discomfort.

You made a young couple extremely happy in your very short three years. You will always be dearly loved.
