Susan J. Eischeid | Submitted PhotoMeet sweet Belle, an affectionate and pretty little bulldog about 3 years old. Although essentially a love-muffin-couch-potato, Belle is super calm on a leash and already knows how to sit. She has a gentle mouth and spirit and enjoys bacon treats and tummy rubs. Canine perfection!
