Chapter 1
LOVE at First Sight
For Lilly, it started as an ordinary day. The five-year-old dog paced across her cage at the Animal Rescue League (sounds like LEEG) in Boston, Massachusetts. She ate her breakfast kibble. She curled up on her blanket to take short naps. Once in a while, she even barked with the other dogs. But she mostly seemed sad and lonely. Like the rest of the animals at the shelter, she needed a home.
That March morning in 2009 started out as a regular day for David Lanteigne (sounds like LAN-tane), too. But he was excited. He was going to do something new later that day. Something awesome. He was going to volunteer at the Animal Rescue League (ARL).
David is a police officer in Boston. He works five days a week helping people. On his day off, he wanted to help homeless dogs. At the shelter, David filled out the forms to become a volunteer. Then he asked if he could meet the canines (sounds like KAY-nines). He meant the dogs. Dogs belong to the group of animals called canines.
“Sure,” the ARL workers said. “Come this way.”
Slowly, David strolled past the cages. He felt good about the job he had signed up to do. All of the dogs needed loving care, and he was just the guy to deliver it. Then, six cages in, his heart skipped a beat. He was face-to-face with Lilly.
“Hello, sweet girl,” he said. Lilly’s golden eyes met his. “You have the most beautiful eyes in the world,” David told her.
Lilly calmly walked to the edge of her cage where David waited. He gazed into her gentle eyes. Then he noticed deep scars on the dog’s left side. There were scars on the top of her head, too.
