Halfway down the row, I heard my partner say, \u201cOh my god.\u201d<\/p>\n
There she was\u2014our dog, curled up in the corner of the kennel like she\u2019d shrunk into herself. She didn\u2019t even look up at first.<\/p>\n
I knelt down and whispered her name.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when she blinked, stood up slowly, and came over, tail low but wagging.<\/p>\n
I thought that was it. We were crying, she was licking our hands, and I was ready to sign whatever paper they had just to get her out of there.<\/p>\n
