Bela was very young when she arrived in her new family. Immediately upon arrival, she won the hearts of all the family members. They couldn't resist the small, shaggy puppy that ran around and entertained everyone in the family.
Although Bela loved all the family members, she enjoyed being with the little girl Ana the most. The two of them played, cuddled, and enjoyed each other's company.
As the days passed, Bela became more relaxed and explored the house. She got to know every corner of her new home. She often crawled under the bed to find something to chew on because her teeth had just started growing. No one ever scolded her, so she thought everything was allowed.
Her happiness knew no bounds when she found something to chew on. She didn't care if she tore someone's slippers or damaged a piece of furniture. She chewed and ripped everything she found on the floor.
Ana found it amusing to watch Bela struggle with slippers that were bigger than her, so she would laugh and tell her, "Don't do it, leave it, or drop it." There was no anger in her voice, so Bela took it as praise and continued to misbehave.
She wasn't aware that chewing could cause damage until one day she tore up Ana's favorite drawings. She enjoyed tearing the papers so much that she didn't even notice when Ana entered the room. Only when Ana started to cry did Bela realize that she wasn't alone and that something was wrong.
Bela moved aside and looked at her best friend with a sad expression as she watched her collect the pieces of the drawing. She felt that she was the reason for Ana's tears and felt sorry for making her loved one sad. She didn't know what to do to fix the damage, so she sat down and watched the girl with embarrassment.
After a few minutes, Bela approached the girl and tried to comfort her. Ana smiled at her, realizing that she also bore some responsibility because she didn't teach her on time what she could touch and play with.
Bela was obedient and quickly turned into the best dog. She continued to enjoy Ana's company, and when her teeth bothered her, she only chewed on her rubber toy shaped like a bone. She enjoyed receiving not only love but also lessons in good behavior from Ana, and Ana was extremely proud of her beautiful and well-behaved dog.
