Despite calling countless animal shelters in her New Jersey neighborhood and plastering the area with missing fliers bearing the dog's furry mug, Backer had no luck locating Mooch, who had managed to escape her front yard's invisible electric fence and disappear in broad daylight.

It wasn't until she discovered FindToto.com, one of the few Internet-based companies specializing in locating lost pets, that Baker found Mooch at a local country club, skinny and tick-ridden, but otherwise OK.

"[Losing a dog] is like losing your child. I was panicked and frantic," said Backer. "I had been spreading the news all over. But I couldn't hand out enough fliers or put them in enough places."
