A Heartwarming Welcome Home

When I drove up Chicopee St to the “Welcome Home” ceremony for Sgt. Joshua Bouchard, I couldn’t find a parking spot. Literally hundreds of Granby residents were already there waiting for Josh’s arrival. I was simply in awe that so many people, friends of Josh or not, showed up to support him.

So needless to say, every time we have Pet Corner or pet segments on Mass Appeal, I HAVE to go see the puppies they brought. This is what I found on Thursday:

All four pups are adoptable pups from Dakin Pioneer Valley Humane Society.
