Courtesy of K. Hogsett Teddy is the red-haired larger dog on the left, and Belle is the blonde puppy on the right. We just adopted Teddy almost a year and 3 months ago from the Cabell Wayne animal shelter. Belle was just recently added to our family about 4 weeks ago. Teddy is the best dog our family can ask for. He lovingly accepted little Belle and is constantly playing or watching over her. We are hoping that Teddy's loving personality is a good influence on our little Belle.
