An Ohio girl's tearful plea asking the public to help find her missing dog went viral this week. Now there's good news: Buddy the dog has been found and reunited with his family.

Laura Wallace posted a video of her 5-year-old daughter Madison's emotional plea and a photo of Buddy on her Facebook page on Wednesday. She had no idea that the video would go viral, being viewed over 9 million times.

The girl's father, Matt Wallace, told WKYC that Buddy was found Saturday morning. He said the extensive news coverage generated tips that ultimately helped bring Buddy home.
