Bella is back home! South Mississippi service dog located after missing for nearly one week

After nearly a week of searching, missing service dog Bella has been located.

Bella is a two-and-a-half year old female black lab and trained service dog for her owner Jacob Cokely, who has Type-1 Diabetes and relies on Bella to help detect changes in his blood sugar.

Bella had been missing in the St. Martin community since December 30th. Cokely believes she ran away after being startled by fireworks.

Cokely is grateful for the support he received from the public during the search for Bella.
