Stella the pug knows when we’re sad or mad—she consoles each of us with cuddles, snorts, and looks at us with loving never judging eyes. Our family healer and oeace maker.
Stella should be America’s favorite because she reminds us that life doesn’t have to be rushed to be meaningful. With her gentle cuddles, soulful eyes, and perfectly timed snorts, she comforts each family member when emotions run high. When we’re sad or mad, Stella makes her rounds, offering love in her own quiet way. She teaches us to slow down, enjoy simple moments, and find joy in naps, snacks, and togetherness. Stella is pure heart, healing, and happiness wrapped in wrinkles.
