An unforgettable homecoming nearly two months in the making. It began with a moment of desperation, Caroline Vern King were vacationing in Montana when their 7-year-old border collie katy disappeared. I opened up my motel door and my dog was gone. I was devastated. For 57 days they went to neighborhoods and deep into the woods, using wildlife cameras and night vision goggles, posting flyers everywhere. You love your dog so much and have hope and you know she's out there searching for you, you can't give up.
Carol quit her job as a mail carrier to keep the search going. But Vern turned to their home outside Spokane, leaving this note for Katy. Instead of saying good-bye, I would rather say see you soon. Love, dad. Then after all seemed lost, a tip. She was right there in the bushes. She ran out. I yelled her name and she came right to me. Katy was 15 pounds lighter but happy to be going home. Answering her dad's letter with a shower of kisses. Good girl.
