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. |

I cried too when I read it. Just kept thinking about how Keira and I met, and how much more I needed her than she needed me. After all, she had 4 families wait listed for her! But I KNEW she was mine! |
How touching |
Don't let Marianne read this one! |
There is no dobut that I have been rescued a number of times by my furry companions! I know that I can still walk because of Willoughby who makes sure I take my daily exercise, the cats who make sure I sleep enough and Merlin, bless him, who reasures me every time we visit that he is happy in his retirement! |
