I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY


His eyes met mine as he walked down the corridor peering apprehensively
into the kennels. I felt his need instantly and knew I had to help him. I
wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so he wouldn't be afraid.
As he stopped at my kennel I blocked his view from a little accident I had
in the back of my cage. I didn't want him to know that I hadn't been
walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want him to
think poorly of them.
As he read my kennel card I hoped that he 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.
He got down on his knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my
shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort him. Gentle
fingertips caressed my neck; he was desperate for companionship.
A tear fell down his cheek and I raised my paw to assure him that all would
be well. Soon my kennel door opened and his smile was so bright that I
instantly jumped into his arms. I would promise to keep him safe. I would
promise to always be by his side. I would promise to do everything I could to
see that radiant smile and sparkle in his eyes. I was so fortunate that he 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.
