Joy of Wilbur: A Testimony from Stokeshire Designer Doodles

“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.” This sentiment rings true for many, including Hannahbelle , who recently shared her heartfelt journey with her beloved dog, Wilbur, a Stokeshire Designer Doodles pup. Like Billy in Where the Red Fern Grows, who yearned deeply for a dog of his own, Hannahbelle knows the transformative joy that comes with having a canine companion.

A Life Changed by Wilbur

From the moment Wilbur entered her life, Hannahbelle knew he was something special. She shared how he has brought immense positivity to her daily routine:

1. Increased Activity – “Wilbur has helped me become more active. We take walks and play daily.”

2. Mindful Breaks – “He encourages me to pause and take breaks when I need them—to play, cuddle, or simply enjoy his company.”

3. Better Mornings – “I get up earlier now, starting my day with his cheerful presence.”

4. Unmatched Friendship – “He’s shown me what it’s like to have a best friend in a dog.”

In Hannahbelle’s words, Wilbur is more than just a pet—he’s a blessing. “God has made Wilbur perfect for me. He’s helped me become a better person,” she says, echoing Where the Red Fern Grows: “I buried little Ann by the side of Old Dan. I know that if dogs have a heaven, there’s one for hers.”

Adventures and Dreams with Wilbur

Hannahbelle and Wilbur’s bond grows stronger through shared activities and dreams:

• Daily Playtime and Walks – These moments create a rhythm of joy and connection.

• Dog Park Outings – Wilbur has already made new friends, spreading his “force field of joy” wherever he goes.

• Plane Rides and Spoiling Sessions – Wilbur is living his best life from flying together to being pampered.

• Future Goals – Hannahbelle plans to train Wilbur as a service dog to help others, teach him to catch mice, and even go sledding with him.

She dreams of taking Wilbur to the beach, watching him swim, and continuing to explore the world together.

An Answered Prayer

Hannahbelle’s love for Wilbur stems from years of longing. She recalls her "dog-wanting disease," a feeling Billy in Where the Red Fern Grows describes perfectly: “It’s strange how memories can lie dormant in a man’s mind for so many years. Yet, those memories can be awakened and brought forth fresh and new, just by something you’ve seen, or something you’ve heard, or the sight of an old familiar face.”

For Hannahbelle, that longing was fulfilled when Wilbur came into her life. “I thank God for him every day,” she says. “You, Stokeshire Designer Doodles, were the answer to my prayer. Thank you for blessing me with my best bud.”

A Special Thanks

Hannahbelle’s story is a testament to a dog's incredible impact on a person’s life. From his apricot fur to his pink nose and loving personality, Wilbur is more than just a doodle—he’s a miracle in Hannahbelle’s life.
