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.
