Norwood police said Sunday morning that the car had been recovered, but the dog was still missing.
However, the woman who first reported her car and dog missing announced on social media that her dog, Dolly, was found in East Walnut Hills.
“While the people who dumped her outside absolutely suck, we are blown away by the (kindness) of our community,” the post says. “THANNK YOU ALL!!!!”
