Molly Returned Home

Molly, the 12-year-old , is happily back with her family today.

Stephanie Batchelder Smith has had Molly for 12 years, and was devastated when she found out that her dog was missing.

"She was my first baby," Smith said.

Smith lives in Georgetown with her husband and two young children, but Molly was at Smith's parents house on Nutter Road when the dog wandered off their backyard last Saturday.

An employee from Lou's Custom Exhaust found Molly on Saturday and took her to his home in Dracut. Today, he asked a customer if she knew of anyone missing a dog, and the customer said she'd seen a flyer at . The man who had the dog went over to Walmart, found the flyer and called Smith.

"She's a little quiet, but very healthy," Smith said of Molly. "I think they were taking good care of her."

Smith is thankful for all of the help she received while looking for Molly, and even more pleased to have her "first baby" home.
