ADAIR, Iowa (KCCI) — An Iowa dog that had been missing since June was found safe over the weekend. “Molly” was reported missing on June 15 after running through the open door of her groomer, Rose Shoemaker of Spitfire Farms in Anita.

Molly had been spotted several times since June but had not been caught until Sunday when one of the farm workers bumped into Molly on a combine on Sunday. She was microchipped, but did not have a collar.

She lost nearly 40 pounds from when she first went missing, but all signs point to Molly being OK. Shoemaker said finding the golden retriever was the highlight of her whole year.
