Photo of service dog in a tutu helping bride goes viral

Whoever says diamond's are a girl's best friend clearly doesn't have a dog.

A heartwarming photo of a service dog assisting her owner on her wedding day is going viral.

Photographer Maddie Peschong with Mad Photo and Design in Sioux Falls, South Dakota was hired to shoot the wedding of Valerie and Andrew Parrot on January 9. But the moments before the "I do's" is what has people talking. 

In the photo, the bride is seen being comforted by her pink, tutu-wearing service dog named Bella. According to Mashable, Bella is alerting Valerie that her heart rate is elevated and is trying to distract her in order to calm her down. Bella is also responsible for helping Valerie deal with migraines and panic attacks.

Bella also held a very special position at Valerie's wedding: she walked with the bride down the aisle. 

Peschong posted the photos to her Facebook page with the caption, "One of the cutest little wedding guests there ever was!"

The touching interaction between Bella and the bride has already racked up more than 1 million hits on Imgur.

One of the cutest little wedding guests there ever was!

Well! I wasn't expecting all of THIS today. Seriously, the craziest. Do you think Val (and Andrew and Bella!) needs a couple more previews since she is now internet famous? Yes? Okay I will oblige :)
