A Rescue Story

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.
