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 in 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 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.....

Aw, I've seen this before, and it aways makes me tear up.

Sweet!

I saw a magnet on the back of a car the other day - in the shape of a paw print that said "Who rescued who?"

(shaky grammar but you get the idea)

I just read this to Mz Logan. who is laying at my feet staring up at me. Time to smother her with kisses and thank her again for rescuing me.

Hi K9Karen,
Could I ask you to shower some kisses and lovies on Mz. Logan from me to thank her for recuing you? Thinking back to when we adopted Groucho, I'm convinced that our pets choose us. May you and Mz. Logan enjoy many more years of good health, love, and companionship!
