Her owner Sam Carrell revealed that she was “scared and shivering” when they first met, however they had an instant connection and Tinkerbelle finally found a loving home.
But one week later her life would change forever, as she was catapulted to fame when Sam and Tinkerbelle ran into a talent agent who fell in love with her bubbly personality and charisma.
