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.
b safe, ~rocky and company~

Thats what happened with us too. We have all rescued our Momma!
Momma is going to copy it and pass it on to other hoomans that have been rescued too.

O ! Just a few more hours ! hooray !
What a wonderful story, and so true. We humans are the really fortunate ones when we bring home a rescued dog or cat - they give us everything and ask for so little in return. Thanks Rocky for bringing this to us.
Chris
Wow, that was wonderful. We rescued our human too. She has been saved lots of times....
We would like to pass that on.

I just love this story so much! I'm not sure if I rescued my hoomans or not becoz they paid money to my breeder. I guess I sorta bought them?

I wish every human in the world could be rescued, but unfortunately, we can't save them all. Some will never know what they are missing in life. How sad.
Love and Koobuss Kisses,
