Oh gini, I'm heartbroken to hear this Please extend my most heartfelt sympathies to your niece and her family. Bella was a most beautiful and loving amabassador for Pit Bulls everywhere. I wish I had had the privilege of meeting her. She fought her illness with such courage. Still, she was taken from this earth far too soon. But what cherished paw prints she has left on the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Bella, you are gone but never to be forgotten. Run and play happily at the Rainbow Bridge now sweetheart, until that day you and your family are united in love. Bless you beautiful Bella.
