For those familiar with Portland Trail Blazers forward/center Meyers Leonard, it's no strange fact that he's very close to his Husky dog Bella, who's been suffering from Stage 3 kidney failure, according to The Oregonian.

To honor his recovering pupper, the 6-foot-11 big man wore these custom-made socks with Bella's face on them, matching his red and white Nike high-top sneakers.

The two have become fan favorites after sharing many Twitter and Instagram moments together, even more so in a pet-friendly state like Oregon. Bella had to get an IV at the veterinarian two weeks ago, only to pose for a picture right after.

The two have been so closely connected, that she was even voted to be a part of Leonard's wedding.
