Pastor Vicki Kemper (Belchertown, MA) lost her beloved collie, Emmylou, last August.  She'd had 13 years with her faithful companion, so the grieving process wasn't easy.  When Vicki decided to bring another dog into her life, she turned to PetFinder to help her find a perfect match.  This had to be a special dog, because, as Vicki's daily companion, the dog would travel with her as she did her work for her church.  Missy, a Border Collie pup, featured on our PetFinder site looked to be a most worthy candidate for the job of helping to 'herd the flock' at the First Congregational Church.

At that time, we were unable to get Missy all the way to Massachusetts, so Vicki took off on the 1,230 mile round trip to Philippi, WV to bring her new best friend home She told us that she took some time to meet up with old friends along the route, and her friend, Mary, joined the adventure in Hagerstown, MD.

We've heard from Vicki and she tells us that Missy, now named Scout, made the trip home without incident and has already gone to work---meeting and greeting the church members, and finding her way into their hearts.

Vicki tells us that Scout has brought much joy into her life and she wants to thank us for bringing the two of them together.

We often speak of 'matches made in heaven' when we feel that we've been able to bring a special person together with a special pet, and this is most certainly one of those matches!

We wish them both many, many years of love and happiness!
