This is what the crazy story of the dog Bella looks like, in the Leimberg family’s reconstruction:
“At first, Hamas didn’t even understand it was a. Mia just woke up and put on a gown, she picked it up and hugged her throughout the kidnapping. The terrorists thought it was her doll and that’s how they managed to take it.”
Only later, after a few hours, did she move slightly in Mia’s hands – and then the kidnappers realized it was a.
“An argument broke out there, they wanted to take it from them. But this is Mia’s dog, and Mia becomes very determined when it comes to her, so she argued with them. In those 53 days, the dog ate the little they ate, they set aside the portions they received fncmx.”
The release video shows a tense conversation between Mia and a Hamas member who saw her getting out of the car with the dog.
“One of the Hamasniks came to get Bella and said, ‘What is this?’ and she replied, ‘She’s mine, from home.’ She motioned to him, “So far, don’t touch my.” It wasn’t an argument, she just made it assertively clear to him that she was coming home with her fncmx.”
This is not just an anecdote. “It was not easy to look after her, but caring for the dog kept them and their survival there,” said Aunt Maayan. At Sheba Hospital, where they were admitted, preparations were also made for her arrival.
“The way they got doctors, she got a veterinarian. Ten thousand treatment, they made her cookies. Now they have been released and fncmx are recovering at home.
