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.
