I Rescued a Human Today
Her eyes met mine as she walked the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly; I 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. 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.
She read my story; 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.
On her knees she made little kissy sounds. I pushed the side of my head against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship.
A tear fell down her cheek; I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well. My kennel door opened; her smile was so bright that I jumped into her arms. I promised to keep her safe. I promised to stay by her side. I promised to do everything I could to see that smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. There are so many humans who haven’t walked the corridors. There are so many to be saved. At least I could save one.
I rescued a human today.
