I Rescued A
Human Today
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 overworked 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.
