Rescued Humans

Found this online a minute ago and thought it was pretty cute:

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.
