Lana: The Little Survivor Who Became the Heartbeat of Our Pack

When Lana first came into our lives, she was a tiny puppy facing a battle no dog her age should ever have to fight. She had parvo - dangerous, fast-moving, and often deadly. But Lana, even then, had a spark in her. A spark that refused to go out.

Against the odds, she pulled through. And from the moment she recovered, it was clear that Lana wasn’t just surviving - she was going to live big.

A Voice You Can’t Ignore

If there’s one thing everyone notices about Lana, it’s that she always has something to say. She’s a full-time chatterbox, communicating in grumbles, play growls, expressive whines, and commentary that sounds like she’s giving a TED Talk.

• She talks when she’s excited.

• She talks when she’s bored.

• She talks just to make sure you know she’s in the room.

And honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way.

The Liveliness of Bubba’s Bowl

Lana is the liveliest of all our dogs - a constant source of motion, joy, and enthusiasm. She’s the one instigating play, stirring up energy, and turning even an ordinary afternoon into a full-pack event.

She loves to run with Albie, darting around the yard like the two of them are starring in their own action film.

She face-wrestles with Morgan and Ruby Rose - a three-way play session that’s part sport, part comedy show, or one on one face-wrestle fun.

And when the chaos settles, Lana becomes a world-class cuddler, pressing against h00mans or other dogs with a surprising gentleness for someone who spent the previous hour body-slamming her siblings.

A Second Chance That Changed Everything

Lana’s story is one of resilience. She started life on the edge, but once she healed, she embraced the world with her whole heart. She brings energy to the pack, warmth to the family, and a kind of love that radiates outward and makes every dog - and every person - feel seen.

Every day with Lana is a reminder that rescue dogs don’t just find a home; they transform the ones they enter.

She’s one of the many reasons Bubba’s Bowl exists: because dogs like Lana deserve the healthiest, happiest life we can give them.
