From My Heart To You
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.
