Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into each kennel. 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 overworked shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.
As she read my kennel card, I hoped she wouldn't feel bad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and I so want to make a difference in someone's life.
She knelt down and talked softly to me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to connect with her, hoping to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; I saw a tear run down her face and I could tell that she needed companionship, too.
Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.
I promised to keep her safe.
I promised to always be by her side.
I promised to do everything I could to see her smile.
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.
I am so happy I could save one.
I rescued a human today.
I rescued a human today.
