TA is Bella,

is an 11-year-old shepherd dog.

Seeing her sunny and handsome appearance now,

it is hard to imagine that

she was only one step away from death a year ago.

At around 8 a.m. in January 2020,

Jane Harper

, who lives in Nottinghamshire, England, was with her good friend Joanne Together with Bellamy,

walked the dog along the Trent River,

suddenly found a looming black figure struggling in the river,

with curiosity, they walked over:

There was a German Shepherd floating on the river,

was struggling painfully,

but it seemed to be grabbed by the hind legs by a water ghost,

the more it struggled, the further down it went.

Seeing this, Jane

hurriedly pulled the soaked dog ashore.

Then she discovered that

it turned out that there was a heavy stone tied to the body of the German Shepherd.

TA did not fall into the water accidentally,

but someone wanted to drown her.

Bella had been struggling in the river for a while.

After arriving ashore,

was already exhausted.

In addition, the river water was freezing cold at that time.

was cold, tired, and hungry, so

lay on the ground dying.

Jane comforted her while

called the police.

A kind-hearted man passing by found some towels,

let Bella lie on the grass to rest,

covered her with the towel to keep warm temporarily.

After the police arrived,

Bella was rushed to the animal hospital for examination and treatment.

The veterinarian said after examination that

Although Bella almost drowned,

fortunately, the rescue was timely,

Bella's body was not seriously injured.

Jane and her friends breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

After a more detailed examination,

the veterinarian found that the elderly Bella suffered from a series of diseases,

requiring regular examination and treatment.

Therefore,

Bella was sent to the Radcliffe Animal Center in Nottingham,

to recover under the care of relevant staff.

Although her body was fine,

being abandoned by her favorite owner

was an unimaginable blow to Bella.

When she was rescued,

Her eyes were empty and sad, and

could not maintain trust in the staff of the animal center.

But all this is changing over time.

Fifteen months have passed,

Bella has received meticulous care from the staff,

has regained her vitality, and

has turned into a happy clingy spirit.

At the same time,

the murderer who sank Bella into the river was also caught.

It turned out to be her mistress because

her current boyfriend didn't like dogs,

so she came up with the idea of ​​killing Bella.

In the end,

the court held that the dog owner violated the "Animal Protection Law" for various reasons,

requiring her to pay all the costs of the dog's treatment,

plus a victim surcharge;

in addition, one year of community service, and

not allowed to keep pets within three years.

Netizens are obviously not satisfied with this verdict...

But the good news is that

because of Bella's tragic experience,

the UK has proposed a new animal protection bill,

increasing the penalty for animal cruelty from the previous six months to six years.

The bill has been passed by the House of Commons and is awaiting approval by the House of Lords.

German Shepherd relies on its own experiences to promote the improvement and consolidation of animal protection laws.

It is not a happy ending.

Bella, who has fully recovered,

has also welcomed her new home.

After learning about Bella's story, a British couple

felt very distressed about Bella's experience,

and came up with the idea of ​​adopting her.

They expressed that they knew that Bella needed to see a veterinarian regularly, and

were able and willing to pay for her medical expenses.

"We know that she is old,

just want to give her a loving home,

and let her have a good home after going through hardships."

"We are both retired,

can spend all our time with him,

which is also a good thing for us."

After review by the animal center staff,

they successfully obtained the qualification to adopt Bella.

They will first go to the animal protection center to meet and get familiar with Bella.

After Bella adapts to her new owner,

they will be able to take the 11-year-old baby home.

In order to witness this special moment,

the Animal Center also invited two special guests:

Jane and Joanne, who rescued Bella,

invited them to witness the moment when Bella met her new owner..

After 15 months,

from dying to rebirth,

Bella's story has come to a happy ending.

is about to start a new life.

Seeing the doting eyes of the new owner when he looks at her,

it is conceivable that

TA's beautiful life has just begun~
