Vineyarders love their dogs! Nowhere on earth is so much attention lavished on man's best friend than here on Martha's Vineyard. You'll meet them in offices, retail stores, beaches & parks (leashed of course), traveling on the ferries,and riding contentedly alongside their owners in pickup trucks & cars. To celebrate this unique bond with our canine companions, MVOL will showcase one of these beloved Island pets each month.

" I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive." ~Gilda Radner 

Name: Bella

Photo Description: Bella at home, among the hyacinths.

Breed: German Shorthaired Pointer.

Age: 8 months

Likes: Playing tug-of-war with her dad; chasing turkeys in the backyard; long walks with her brother Tyson and her sister Callie at Menemsha Hills; sleeping on the couch, under a blanket; terrorizing the poor cats, Aurora and George, that live in the house with her; peanut butter in a Kong and bacon grease on her breakfast.

Dislikes:  Cat scratches on the nose (will she ever learn?); seeing mom and dad leave the house; rainy days when a long walk isn't a good idea.

Hangs out with: Mom, Abigail, and Dad, Curtis; brother Tyson and sister Callie; Uncle Andy; nemeses Aurora and George; anyone who stops by and receives a sloppy

kiss as close to the face as she can get.

Personal Motto: "Every girl is a princess but I am queen of them all."
