A pup and her owner reunited after almost a month

CAROLINA BEACH, NC (WWAY) — It’s a search that brought an entire community together and now it has a happy ending.

We told you about Wayne Rouse’s great Pyrenees, Holly, who went missing almost four weeks ago, wandering around Carolina Beach.

Holly is a “working dog,” and since being adopted, she has been unemployed. Rouse and other rescue volunteers believe that she was looking for a job while being M.I.A, which is protecting small animals.

To lure her in, Rouse set up a chicken pen in his yard with an automated door to close her in.

Thursday night, the plan worked.

Rouse and his team are relieved and ecstatic for Holly’s return, and are grateful for all of the efforts that Carolina Beach citizens have given on the search.
