A recent TikTok video shared by Malaysian roadside stall owner, Bella Halil, has been capturing attention online, showcasing an endearing interaction between Bella and perhaps the most adorable customer she's ever encountered.

Posted on her TikTok page @bellahazizi77, Bella shares how a stray dog consistently pays her a visit at her business site in Batu Pahat.
This pure black dog, affectionately named Elizabeth but fondly referred to as Jabeth, positions herself just inches away from Bella's stall. Understanding the dog's intent, Bella fetches a piece of fried chicken from her stall and places it on the ground for Jabeth to enjoy.
Grasping the chicken with her teeth, Jabeth happily takes it before strolling away.
In a heartwarming turn of events, Jabeth returns shortly after for a second helping, prompting Bella to graciously offer her another piece, which Jabeth gleefully accepts before trotting off.
This touching gesture has resonated with many online users, who have praised and thanked Bella for her kindness toward Jabeth and her offspring, recognising the challenges faced by stray animals in finding sustenance. One user even humorously remarked that Bella now has new bodyguards for her stall in the form of Jabeth and her pup.
"You're an amazing person! May the blessings you and your family receive overflow and continue," commented one user.
Thank you for being kind to her, Bella!
