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. Yes, I could save one.
I rescued a human
today.
