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.
