No. 2 — Meyers Leonard’s Pupper Bella Dies
Meyers Leonard’s dog, Bella, was a fan favorite. And when the sweet and photogenic Husky got sick last season, Rip City and other NBA fans took to social media to offer support.
Thanks to everyone for your support! You've all been so amazing. Bella is a strong pup and will keep fighting! #CancerSucks #BellaStrong ❤️ pic.twitter.com/CFIAuDicGw

Sadly, Bella passed on Christmas; Leonard announced the loss of his beloved pet on social media.
Our baby Bella is gone to a better place now. 2/18/13 - 12/25/17. I’m not sure words could ever describe how much you meant to us. You were truly an amazing dog that brought us nothing but pure joy and happiness. We will love you forever Bella. RIP baby girl. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/I8vLoMBW27

Once again, Leonard received an outpouring of support and condolences for his loss.
We’ll miss Bella, too; she was a big part of Rip City.
