Parrott has anxiety, and Bella is trained to alert Parrott if her anxiety increases. The dog then calms her owner down by licking her hands or leaning against her.
This helps her avoid a panic attack, Parrott told BuzzFeed Life.

The photo of Bella helping Parrott right before she walked down the aisle was posted on Imgur shortly after the couple’s wedding. It has since received nearly two million views.
Bella (who dressed up in a tutu for the occasion) also joined her human in her walk down the aisle.
