I rescued a human today.

I rescued a human today. Her eyes met mine as she walkeddown the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. Ifelt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I waggedmy tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.

As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a littleaccident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her toknow that I hadn't been walked today.Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't wanther to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feelsad about my past. I only have the future to look forward toand want to make a difference in someone's life. She gotdown on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me.I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the barsto comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised mypaw to assure her that all would bewell. Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so brightthat I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise tokeep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. Iwould promise to do everything I could to seethat radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was sofortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more areout there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more tobe saved. At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today.
