I rescued a human....

I rescued a human today....

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering nervously into the kennels.
I felt her need instantly and i knew i had to help her.
I wagged my tail calmly so she wouldnt be afraid.

As she stopped at my kennel i blocked her view from the little accident i had just had in the back of my cage. I didnt 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 she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and i now want to make a difference in someones life. She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds around me. I shoved my shoulder and the side of my head up against the bars to comfort her.

Gentle fingertips carressed my neck, she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and i raised my paw to assure her all would be well.

Soon my kennell door opened and her smile was so bright i instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe and always be by her side.
I would promise to do all i could to see that radient smile and the sparkle in her eyes.
I was so fortunate she came to my corridor. So many more humans haven't walked the corridors yet, so many more dogs to save one.

Atleast i was lucky enough to save MY human.
