When we talk about acts of love, adopting is one of them and not only for our species. Sometimes, without words but with a look, it is enough to understand what our dogs are feeling. When we go to an animal shelter and look at their little faces, who dares to say they're not saying, "adopt me"?! A look can reflect the soul of an animal and its needs or feelings
From our site we want to put into words some of the feelings that we think we see from the eyes of a dog that wants to be adopted. Although letters are hardly used nowadays due to the appearance of emails and social networks, it is a nice gesture every time we receive them, and they make us smile.
For this reason we will put into words what we believe an animal feels after being adopted. The Little Prince already said it in his book: "Tame me and I'll be the happiest being in the universe." Enjoy this beautiful letter from an adopted dog to her owner
Dear Owner,
How can we forget that day you entered the shelter and our eyes met? If love at first sight exists, I think that's what we had. I ran to greet you along with 30 other dogs, and between barks, growls and caresses I wanted you to choose me among all of them I kept looking at you, nor you at me, your eyes were so deep and tender… However, soon the others made you take your eyes off me, and I became discouraged as so many other times. Yes, you will think that I am like that with everyone, I like to fall in love and fall out of love, over and over again. But I think this time I caused something in you that hadn't happened before. You came to greet me under my tree where I took refuge every time it rained or, they broke my heart. While the owner of the shelter tried to direct you to other dogs, you walked in silence towards me, where the crush was definitive. I wanted to be interesting and not wag my tail so much, I already discovered that sometimes that scares the future owners, but I couldn't, it wouldn't stop spinning like a helicopter. You played with me for 1 or 2 hours, I don't remember anymore, but I was very, very happy.
All good things come to an end soon they say, you stood up and walked towards the little house where food, vaccines and many other things come from. I accompanied you there jumping and licking the air but you kept telling me, calm down… Calm down? How could I be calm? I had already found you. You took a little longer than expected in there… I don't know if it was hours, minutes, seconds, for me, an eternity. I went back to my tree where I used to hide when I was sad, but this time with my head looking the other way which wasn't the door you had disappeared through. I didn't want to witness you get out and go home without me. I decided to sleep to forget, not to witness the magical moment that just happened.
Suddenly I heard my name, it was the owner of the shelter, what does he want? Can't you see I'm sad and now I don't feel like eating or playing? But since I'm obedient, I turned around and there you were, crouched down, smiling at me, you had already decided that I would go home with you.
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 wherever you want to take me. You spoke so sweetly to me that it was hard to resist your charms. You showed me where I would sleep, where I would eat and where you would. I had everything I needed, even toys so I wouldn't get bored, how could you think I was going to get bored? I had so much to discover and learn!
Days and months passed and your affection grew along with mine. I'm not going to delve into discussions about whether animals have feelings or not, I'm just going to tell you what happens to me. Today, I can finally tell you that the most important thing in my life is you Not the walks, not the food, not even that cute dog that lives in the apartment down. It's you, because I will always be grateful that you have chosen me among all.
Each day of my life is divided between the moments that you are with me and those that you are absent. I will never forget the days when you arrived tired from work and with a smile you said to me: Shall we go for a walk? or Who wants to eat? And I, selfish, didn't want any of that, just to be with you, the plan didn't matter.
Now that I've been feeling bad for a while and you've been sleeping next to me, I wanted to take the opportunity to write this to you so you can carry it with you all your life. No matter where I go, I can never forget you and I will always be eternally grateful, because you are the best thing that ever happened to me
But I don't want you to stay sad, walk the same path again, choose a new love and give him everything you gave me and he can never forget you. Others deserve an owner like the one I had, maybe!
