Fiske was forced to evacuate ahead of Hurricane Harvey and Bella had to stay at a shelter in Houston.<meta itemprop="copyrightHolder" content="Torin Halsey/Times Record News" />&nbsp;<span class="credit">(Photo: Torin Halsey/Times Record News)</span></p></aside><div class="clearfix"></div></div><p class="p-text">Bella was surrendered to the Houston Humane Society – one of nearly 800 animals that shelter director JoAnne Jackson estimated they took care of during the storm.</p><p class="p-text">"Quite a few did get reunited with their owners, but a lot were strays on the street."</p><p class="p-text">As for Bella, the shelter was aware she had someone who was actively trying to find a way to reclaim her.</p><p class="p-text">"We knew she had an owner, and we were just waiting to be contacted by him," Jackson said. "When we were first contacted, it was a little confusing because we heard he had been sent to Las Vegas or somewhere out of state."</p><div class="partner-placement partner-spike"></div><p class="p-text">The confusion was eventually cleared up and the shelter realized Fiske was in Wichita Falls at a local nursing home or retirement facility. However, the first residence wouldn't allow Fiske to keep Bella with him.</p><p class="p-text">"There were times he would call and he was just heartbroken because he went to several places that wouldn't let him have her there," Jackson said. "Finally, when he moved into this one and called me to say he could have her, we were all just so excited about it.</p><p class="p-text">"Bella is the sweetest dog, but we wanted her to get home. Knowing in the last couple of days that she would get reunited, everyone at the shelter was so ecstatic."</p><div class="partner-outstream"></div><p class="p-text">Once the living situation was solved, the Houston Humane Society had to tackle the next problem – how to get Bella back to her owner in Wichita Falls.</p><p class="p-text">"When he finally was able to keep her and found a retirement center that allowed him to keep her, we wanted to figure out how to make this happen," Jackson said. "Of course we contacted several different rescue groups."</p><p class="p-text">One of the groups they contacted – Nana's PIT Stop and Bully Breed Rescue out of Denton – responded that they would be happy to help in any way possible.</p><p class="p-text">"So, we thought if we could get Bella to Waco, then they could get her to Dallas and Cheryl (Spruiell) could get her to Wichita Falls," Jackson said.</p><p class="p-text">For Spruiell, who had already sent dog food, crates and "anything we could get our hands on" down to Houston to help the animals in need, she was all to happy to help.</p><p class="p-text">"Grace Madore-Hale, one of our board members, drove all the way to Waco and I met her up in Dallas yesterday to pick up Bella," said Spruiell, who's the founder and president of Nana's PIT Stop. "...This is what it's all about. Especially finding the original owner.</p><p class="p-text">"Houston Humane Society did all that. But, to be a part of getting an original owner back with a dog that really wants the dog – I've had a lot of careers and this is the most rewarding career I've ever had. ... I try to do what I hope someone else would do for me."</p><p class="p-text">Spruiell made the final trek herself, leaving from her house just south of Gainesville. She said she made several calls along the way, but it was Fiske's voice that caught Bella's attention.</p><p class="p-text">"I was struck by his voice. It was obvious he is in a weakened physical condition," Spruiell said. "He was telling me all about her and was crying. I almost started crying.</p><p class="p-text">"But, Bella was in the crate at the back (of the SUV). She'd been riding very quietly. ... She heard his voice and started whining. She got up and was looking around trying to find him. She definitely recognized his voice."</p><p class="p-text">After that call, Bella knew there was hope she might be getting to see her owner again.</p><p class="p-text">"She was so excited. You could see the change in her after that," Spruiell said of Bella's demeanor after that call. "She didn't know exactly what was up, but she knew something was up."</p><div id="module-position-QpKPOh3EoVg" class="story-asset image-asset"><aside itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" class="single-photo float"><img itemprop="url" src="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/1d9bf40f9f0e8a822edd01509e060794c5568ef1/c=72-0-1385-1750&amp;r=183&amp;c=0-0-180-240/local/-/media/2017/11/01/TXGroup/Wichita/636451496027798227-Hurricane-Dog-Reunited-2.jpg" alt="Bella, a chocolate Lab, licks the face of her owner," width="180" height="240" data-mycapture-src="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/media/2017/11/01/TXGroup/Wichita/636451496027798227-Hurricane-Dog-Reunited-2.jpg"

"You can't tell now by the way she's acting though."</p><p class="p-text">The reunion was a much-needed boost to Fiske's spirits also.</p><p class="p-text">"It lit me up like you would not believe," he said. "She's really all I've ever worried about."</p><p class="p-text">While wishing she could be there, Jackson knew her organization had done the right thing by holding onto Bella for so long until the logistics could be worked out for Fiske.</p><p class="p-text">"Bella just became everybody's sweetie. The volunteers just loved her," Jackson said. "Everybody now knowing that she made it home – it's just a celebration.</p><p class="p-text">"... She was here for almost six weeks. It's a big room (the dogs get to stay in) and we have volunteers that walk the dogs all the time, but it's not the same as being with your dad."</p><p class="p-text">As Spruiell delivered Bella to him, Fiske constantly thanked her and told her that he knew he was never able to pay them back for all the generosity they had shown him.</p><p class="p-text">"Unbelievable," he said of the volunteers, tearfully looking down into Bella's eyes. "I didn't know people cared that much."</p><div id="module-position-QpKPOh2GjsM" class="story-asset inline-share-tools-asset"><div class="inline-share-tools asset-inline-share-tools asset-inline-share-tools-bottom"><span
