Upon learning in May 2015 that his beloved dog Bella was terminally ill with the same cancer that took her front leg, Nebraska humanitarian and traveller Rob Kugler decided that Bella would come along with him on a driving adventure across the United States, starting with the Marine Corps Ball in Chicago. Since the start of their trip, the two have covered thousands of miles, shot hundreds of pictures and inspired many along the way.

After Losing a Leg to Cancer in May of 2015 and given 3-6 months to live due to the cancer in her lungs….Bella joined me on an adventure across the country to explore this great land, visit many friends, encourage others to get out and explore, inspire those with disabilities to continue to Love their lives and enjoy the moment, and of course, to simply enjoy each other’s company.
