I rescued a human today.
Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering
apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I
had to
help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be
afraid. As
she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I
had in the
back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked
today.
Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think
poorly of them.
As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad
about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to
make a
difference in someone's life. She got down on her knees and made
little kissy
sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the
bars to
comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for
companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to
assure her
that all would be well.
Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I
instantly jumped
into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to
always be
by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that
radiant smile
and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my
corridor. So
many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more
to be
saved. At least I could save one.
I rescued a human today.
