When we talk about acts of love, adopting is one of them. Often, without words and just with a look, we can understand what our dogs are feeling. When we go to an animal shelter and look at their little faces, who dares say they're not saying, "Adopt me!"? A look can reflect an animal's soul as well as its needs or feelings.
In Animal Expert, we want to put into words some of the feelings we believe we see in those little eyes of a dog that wants to be adopted. Although cards are practically no longer used these days, this is a beautiful gesture that always brings a smile to the recipient.
For this reason, we put into words what we believe an animal feels after being adopted. enjoy this beautiful letter from adopted dog to tutor!
Dear Tutor,
How can you forget that day when you entered the refuge and our eyes met? If there is love at first sight, I believe that's what happened to us. I ran to greet you along with 30 more dogs and, between barking and petting, I wish you would choose me among all. I didn't stop looking at you, nor you me, your eyes were so deep and sweet... However, the others made you avert your eyes from mine and I was sad as so many times had happened before. Yes, you will think that I am that way with everyone, that I like to fall in love and out of love, over and over again. But I think this time something happened to you that hadn't happened before. You came to greet me under that tree where I took refuge whenever it rained or my heart was broken. While the owner of the shelter tried to direct you to the other dogs, you walked in silence to me and the connection was definitive. I wanted to do something interesting and not wag my tail too much, as I found out that this scares future tutors, but I couldn't, it kept turning like a helicopter. You played with me for 1 or 2 hours, I don't remember, I just know that I was very, very happy.
Everything good ends quickly, they say, you got up and walked to the little house where food, vaccines and many other things come out. I followed you there licking the air and you kept saying, calm down... Calm down? How could I be calm? I had already found you. It took a little longer than I expected in there... I don't know if it was hours, minutes, seconds, but for me it was an eternity. I went back to the tree where I hid when I was sad, but this time with the head looking the other way other than the door you had disappeared through. I didn't want to see you leaving and going home without me. I decided to sleep to forget.
Suddenly he heard my name, he was the owner of the refuge. What does he want? Can't you see I'm sad and now I don't feel like eating or playing? But because I'm obedient I turned and there you were, crouched down, smiling at me, you had already decided you were going home with me.
We arrived home, our home. I was scared, I didn't know anything, I didn't know how to behave, so I decided to follow you everywhere. He spoke to me in a soft voice that was hard to resist his charms. He showed me my bed, where I would sleep, where to eat and where you would be. It had everything you needed, even toys so you wouldn't bore me, how could you think I'd be bored? There was so much to discover and learn!
Days and months passed and his affection grew just like mine. I'm not going to go into further discussions about whether animals have feelings or not, I just want to tell you what happened to me. Today, I can finally tell you that the most important in my life is you. Not the walks, not the food, not even that pretty bitch who lives downstairs. It's you, because I'll always be grateful for having chosen me among all.
Every day of my life is divided between the moments you are with me and the ones you are away. I will never forget the days when you arrived tired from work and, with a smile, you said to me: Let's go for a walk? or, Who wants to eat? And I, who didn't want any of this, just wanted to be with you, no matter what the plan.
Now that I've been feeling bad for a while and you're sleeping beside me, I wanted to write this, so you can take it with you for the rest of your life. No matter where you go, I can never forget you and I'll always be forever grateful, because you are the best that happened in my life.
But I don't want you to be sad, go back to the same path, choose a new love and give everything you gave me, this new love will never be forgotten either. Other dogs also deserve a tutor like the one I had, best of all!
