Best Rescue post 20

I met these eyes behind the bars of a shelter cage at 4pm one Tuesday afternoon. She was covered in bald patches, and scabbed over wounds. Her ribs and hips were painfully obvious. But her matted tail wagged when she saw me, and those eyes looked so deeply into mine, I knew I couldn't leave without her. I was 18 years old, and she would me my first "own" dog. When I adopted her, the shelter worker told me I was saving her life, but really, it was she saving mine. She introduced me to the wonderful world of dog sports. She got me out of the house, going places and meeting people. She has been my one true and constant companion for 12 years. There will never be another like her. She is truly an angel.
