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.
