I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY

My mom has had this paper hanging on her refridgerator for a while now, and I never get tired of reading it. It's so precious.. ENJOY!!!

His eyes met mine as he walked down the corridor peering apprehensively in to our kennels.  I felt his need instantly and knew I had to help him.  I wagged my tail, not to exuberantly, so he wouldn't be afraid.  As he stopped at my kennel I blocked his view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage.  I didn't want him to know that I hadn't been walked today.  Sometimes the shelter keepers get to busy and I didn't want him to think poorly of them.   As he read my kennel card, I hope that he 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.  He got down on his knees and made little kissy sounds at me.  I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort him.  Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; he was desperate for companionship.  A tear fell down his cheek and I raised my paw to assure him that all would be well.  Soon my kennel door opened and his smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into his arms.  I would promise to keep him safe.  I would promise to always be by his side.  I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in his eyes.  He was so fortunate that he 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.
