In the busy streets of Atlanta, a Pit Bull named Stella was in trouble after her family left her alone.
Her future looked grim until a rescue group called Lifeline Project stepped in to give her a chance at a better life.
A Dream Turns Real

In her dream, Krista Keough saw a grey and white dog, which felt like a sign. The next day, she saw Stella on an Instagram page.
It was like the dog from her dream was reaching out to her through the photo.
The First Meeting

When Krista met Stella, the dog cuddled into her arms, and they both knew they belonged together.
This connection was the start of something beautiful for Stella, promising a happier life ahead.
Healing and Growing

Stella had some issues because of her rough past. She was scared and would react to things she didn’t know.
But Krista worked hard with training to help Stella feel safe and learn to trust her new world.
A New Friend

After keeping Stella and her other dog, Apollo, apart for a little while, Krista introduced them.
They hit it off and enjoyed playing together. Apollo was very gentle with Stella, which helped her feel more at home.
Staying Strong

There were times when Krista felt overwhelmed with the challenges of helping Stella.
But remembering what Stella had been through gave Krista the strength to keep going and do what was best for her new dog.
Holiday Happiness

Christmas time showed how far Stella had come. She played with her toys and looked to Apollo to learn what to do. It was a time full of fun and joy for Stella.
Sharing Stella’s Story

Stella’s amazing change inspired Krista to write a children’s book called “Dear Diary, It’s Me, Stella.”
The book aims to teach kids to be kind and understanding towards rescue dogs.
Loving Life

Now Stella wakes up excited daily, ready to see what’s new and enjoy life.
Her story shows the power of giving animals a second chance and how much they can teach us about courage and love.
