I rescued a human today
She was just visiting
Or so she said
She just wanted to see what dogs were there
Or so she said
She wasn’t ready for the commitment of a pet
Or so she said
Not just yet anyway
Or so she said
She looked so lost as she passed my cage
But stroked me gently through the bars
I wagged my tail, just a little so as not to scare her
She read my details on the door and smiled
Bent down and looked into my eyes
I looked into her soul
I promised to always keep her safe
To share everything
To snuggle with her when she’s down
And kiss away her tears
She was hesitant at first
She wasn’t ready
Or so she said
But I knew that she was the one
