How the Love of a Pit Bull Rescued a Family

Get ready to fall in love with one incredible dog....

Marika Meeks fell in love with Stella the moment she saw her. The adorable pit bull puppy had been abandoned in a cold field in winter - but her warm, friendly eyes and boundless affection could melt anyone's heart. Even so, Marika wasn't sure she was ready to adopt a dog. As a busy entrepreneur, wife, and mother of two daughters, Marika's life was crazy already. She was recovering from stage-three breast cancer, and her family was still reeling from her brush with mortality. But Marika couldn't deny the way Stella made her feel - the pure joy of this sweet-natured dog's unconditional love - and she knew in her heart what her family needed....

In a leap of faith, the Meekses welcomed Stella into their home, and thanks to this incredible dog, the daily pressures of work, stress, and Marika's health problems seemed to slip away. As Marika's cancer receded and her family found renewed vitality, she began sharing Stella's story with the world. Now an international social media star, Stella helps Marika to spread their heartfelt message of advocating for pit bull breed awareness, explaining the benefits of pet ownership and supporting shelters and other organizations that save animals' lives.

Love it!

A beautiful story that engages not only dog lovers but those looking for meaning in their lives. Go for it!

Great story for animal lovers!

Loved this story and frank nature about anxiety and how animals can help those of us who suffer from trauma, anxiety and other conditions. The unconditional support, love, and magic Stella has shown proves pitties are amazing creatures! Five paws up for Stella!

The only thing I would have changed about this selection is the narrator. The narrator was a bit robotic at times, which I found boring.

I would have loved to hear Marika’s story directly from her as the narrator

An inspiration

I was so moved by Marika’s and Stella’s story. Their love and generosity to make a difference in the world of Pit Bulls is inspiring.

Four paws and wet nose = healing
