The heartwarming true story of a three-legged Labrador, her human and how to live each day as though it's your last.

For fans of Nala's World and Arthur, this is an uplifting and unforgettable true story about how the love of a good dog can save your life.

Rob

Kugler adopted his chocolate Lab Bella as a puppy - a bundle of fun and

love to keep his girlfriend company as he headed off to war. But when

Rob's brother died and his relationship fell apart, it was Bella who was there

to help heal the wounds, and make Rob's life worth living again. So

when Rob was told Bella had cancer - first in her leg, which had to be

amputated, and then in her lungs - he was devastated.

With only

months of Bella's life left, he knew just what he had to do for his

furry best friend. Determined to show her the same unconditional love

she had always shown him, Rob decided to give Bella the farewell

adventure of her doggy dreams. Criss-crossing the USA from coast to

coast, making many new friends along the way, Bella taught Rob never to give

up and to live each day as though it's your last.

A heartbreaking

but ultimately uplifiting true tale, A Dog Named Beautiful is full of hope, love, tears and laughter. Enjoy the journey.
