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.

Why, it's ME....the good news is that mom can't lift me out of the tub until her arm heals so I guess I'll be able to smell like a dog for a while longer. BOL
OMD, Rudy Patudy is DOTW. What a fantabulous choice. He is a prince among pups, kind, sweet, funny and adorable (in a manly way, of course).
We love him and his family, even though mom now thinks in Rudyese...
He is always there with a kind word and a cyber-hug when we (or anypup or kitty) need one.
Here's to you HQ, for recognizing one of the brightest stars on Dogster.
Congratulations my buddy, you're in my heart always.
