Newcastle the bulldog lives in Anaheim Hills with his partner Stella. Theirs was a love story born out of tragedy. Newcastle and Guinness (both bulldogs named for the famous brown ale and dry stout from the UK) grew up together rather peacefully until they got into a vicious fight, with Guinness being the original aggressor. In trying to protect the dogs from each other, their owner suffered injuries that landed him in the hospital. Guinness was subsequently put down and Newcastle was lonesome for a time until Stella became part of the family. She was in the prime of her life and Newcastle heading toward the end of his, but she didn’t mind his age, weight problem, or constant slobbering. If he needed to be crated, she would jump into the cage first as if to warm it up for him. Here they are shown cuddling on the sofa. Notice Stella’s gentle proprietary gesture... her paws above his.
It is said that human motives are rarely undiluted, and in witnessing an Odd Couple’s PDA, one often wonders how they ended up with each other and whether their relationship would last. You’ve got to be a heartless skeptic to say anything of the sort about this affectionate pair!
Don't we all wish the same companionship for ourselves?
Stella and Newcastle
