I rescued a human today

(author unknown)

 

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 just wanted to thank you for paring me up with my puppy Rocky. I love him so much and he has made himself right at home; he always sleeps on the bed with me every night and he loves when I take him for walks.”

That’s me!  Charlie (right).  I found myself at TLAC listed as “a stray” when Companion Connection saw me and knew just who was looking for a fuzzy wuzzy like me.  They came all the way out here to save me from cage life.  I couldn’t be happier:  I have 4 doggie friends, fresh food and water and the best puppy parents.  Ahhh
