“Today I adopted a human. It broke my heart to see him so lonely and confused. And suddenly I got his teary eyes to meet mine. I don't like the smell of sad. I wanted to jump on him so bad. He spoke to me with cuteness and I knew it, I had to rescue him!, that human needed me. So I bark with all my strength, I followed him blocks and blocks.

I got close, I could smell his hands. The human smiled for an instant and when he took me in his arms, I started to feel his ice cream heart warmed. I approached his cheeks and felt a tear roll on them. I looked at him deeply and his response was a brilliant smile. I jumped excited into his arms, I promised to behave, love him forever and never part with his side.

How lucky he was to go through that block, down that street and I feel lucky too.

There were so many people walking around and no one was looking at me. All worried, all in their troubles. Glad no one else chose me Today I saved a life. Today I adopted a human” 🐾 🐕

I'm not overly dog-lovey, I've had many dogs over the past 35 years as homesteaders and raising 8 kids ;) We had 6 dogs for the past 15 years, as we lose one we bring another in...we can't help it ;)

In 2018 I went into a pet store to get goldfish for my huge livestock watering trough (they eat algea/mosquito larvae). I walked in, walked by a long isle of puppies on the ground in 3 dividers with 5 puppies per section. Cute I thought, don't want or need any, but really cute.

The last section, there was a tiny little white puppy (American Eskimo). Blackest nose and eyes looking up at me, quivering, completely, totally overwhelmed with being there and wanting to die and be done with life. I connected with her on a level I have never connected with any other animal. I never buy dogs (we adopt), but I bought her ($ouch$!).

She helped me live the past 4 years, bad divorce after 34 yrs, severely abusive ex, scary times. She's saved my life and held my tears when I couldn't.

Love is universal with animals, they melt. So wonderful that you bought her in that moment, she was yours and you were hers. Beautiful.

What I saw in her eyes and her body language was what I was feeling in life too - I knew her suffering (being yanked from her mom, flown 10 hours 4 states over, driven 8 hours to the pet store, washed and dried and put out on display - she was shell shocked like me from abuse :(

I didn't even touch her or pick her up until I had paid for her, the store owner was shocked. I just knew she was mine. I didn't even know I needed her - but she's transformed my life and kept me sane :)

I've loved our other dogs, but not like this. I'm scared of losing her now. I swear we talk to each other and we know what each other thinks, LOL! When I leave, she stays in the front window until I come back, hours she waits, a few times she's been there for several days - doesn't do anything else, just sits there and waits. When I get home after 30 min or days, she does the same thing. Runs thru the house screaming and can't be contained. Never saw a dog like her before. Thankful she's mine 💖
