My name is Candy Helber. I have been
volunteering for SPCA Tampa Bay since July
2008. The story below is my inspiration. |
*****
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.
I rescued a human today.
Unfortunately I don't know the author but this touched
me. My "throw away" rescue dog means the world to me.
Please take a chance and adopt you won't regret it.
