INCREDIBULL STELLA tells the heartwarming true story of Marika Meeks, a recovering cancer survivor, and the scrappy little pit bull, Stella, who reminded her how to live and changed her life.

""Incredibull Stellareminds us that we are here to love, be loved, and be rescued.""

-Jackson Galaxy

While recovering from a serious illness, Marika Meeks adopted an abandoned pit bull puppy and named her Stella. Together, they healed each other . . .

Marika Meeks fell in love with Stella the moment she saw her. The adorable pit bull puppy had been abandoned in a cold field in winter-but her warm, friendly eyes and boundless affection could melt anyone's heart. Even so, Marika wasn't sure she was ready to adopt a dog. As a busy entrepreneur, wife, and mother of two daughters, Marika's life was crazy already. She was recovering from Stage 3 breast cancer, and her family was still reeling from her brush with mortality. But Marika couldn't deny the way Stella made her feel-the pure joy of this sweet-natured dog's unconditional love-and she knew in her heart what her family needed . . .

In a leap of faith, the Meekses welcomed Stella into their home, and thanks to this incredible dog, the daily pressures of work, stress, and Marika's health problems seemed to slip away. As Marika's cancer receded and her family found renewed vitality, she began sharing Stella's story with the world. Now an international social media star, Stella helps Marika to spread their heartfelt message of advocating for pit bull breed awareness, explaining the benefits of pet ownership, and supporting shelters and other organizations that save animals' lives.

If you've ever experienced the joy that only an animal can bring-or felt the healing power of a pet's unconditional love-you're going to adore Incredibull Stella.
