She looked up at me with big eyes, her head tilted to one side.

She sat at my gentle command and wagged her tail with pride.

I petted her, then walked away, but she came back for more.

When I ventured to bed that night, she slept by me on the floor.

This sweet little dog came into my life, needing to be saved.

But I wasn’t sure if I could give her the attention that she craved.

She gave me unconditional love until I knew it was meant to be.

I was asked to rescue her, but instead she rescued me.
