Bella the Beagle Who Changed Lives | Pittsburgh News

A paralyzed beagle mix named Bella, who escaped from Pennsylvania a year ago, has become a beloved therapy dog in Colorado, bringing joy to children, seniors, and communities through her gentle presence and infectious spirit. Her owner, Kiki McGough, found her through a special needs pet list after losing her own dog, and Bella has since become a local icon—reading to kids, visiting seniors, and even rocking a custom wardrobe for church. Now working toward certification as a therapy dog, Bella must overcome challenges like ignoring other dogs during tests, while also preparing for a spot on the Colorado Pet Pantry’s calendar. Her inspiring journey earned a letter from the Colorado governor, celebrating her as a symbol of hope, resilience, and the transformative power of animal rescue.
