I was rescued today....

[Sarge]

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.

That is so beautiful, did you write it? Is that your dog?

[Sarge]

That is my dog but I cant take the credit for the story. I found it on line and every time I read it it makes me tear up.

[Champagne Wishes]

Very neat. A little tuggin' at my hearstrings going on right now!

[PJ]

I needed a little cry this morning. That was very touching.

[Kayla]

I didn't think I could cry anymore lately, however, this sure made me tear up.

[Morgan Girl]

She is very cute. What is her name? How old is she?

[Sarge]

His name is pugz and he is 2. Was a puppymill rescue and is the first small dog I've ever had. He snores LOUD, sheds horribly and "toots" all of the time and I love him to death. He is stubborn and thick headed and will be the first one in an open lap (definately a cuddler and lap dog). Great dogs but nothing will be done without them first thinking it was their idea (and only their idea).
