Quinn Bennett
with Bella

The American Dog reports

Bella, a blue American Pit Bull Terrier, is an “only child” to Quinn Bennett. From the day she received Bella as a birthday gift in 2007, the two have been inseparable. She goes everywhere with Quinn to promote her breed. Quinn says she wants to show everyone that Pit Bulls are not monsters. She explains that you’d have a better chance of drowning from Bella’s kisses than getting bitten by her. Bella is currently helping to socialize a more timid rescue dog, and she loves meeting anyone. Recently, Bella turned 4 years old. “She had an awesome doggie birthday party to celebrate,” Quinn says. On a normal day when Quinn returns home from work, she takes Bella out for potty and playtime. Then they go back inside for dinner and then some indoor playing and tricks. “She loves jumping through the hula hoop for treats.” Bella’s favorite treats are some gourmet cookies from a doggie bakery or her Uncle Chris’s homemade ones. Her favorite toys include her pink dragon named “Pinkie,” which she has had since she was a puppy. “I don’t have any ‘real kids,’” Quinn says. “Bella is my child—she is my heart, and I will do anything for her.”
