Emilee was born on December 7, 1994 and she passed on June 30, 2006 at 12 1/2 from pancreatic cancer.

She loved doing therapy work. Her last weekend was the Port Discovery visit and she was very quiet and slept for some of it but perked right up as soon as anyone came to pet her, especially the kids. She was very happy to be there. We lost her only a few days later.

She was my heart dog, the most intelligent and courageous dog I've ever known. She served as a Search and Rescue dogs with Mid-Atlantic D.O.G.S. Search and Rescue for several years before retiring to do therapy work with Fidos.

We all miss her terribly but know that now she is beyond pain and suffering, merrily searching the dappled woods around the rainbow bridge.
