It took a village to find the missing pet. A rescue organization set up motion sensor cameras to see if people could spot her. The Johnsons also gave a shoutout to friends and neighbors for helping with the search.

Bella was found Sunday, filthy and cornered between two buildings.

The alley where she was hiding was 4 miles from where the storm leveled the Johnsons’ home near Cookeville, Tenn.

“At the moment our miracle dog has a full belly of food and is currently sleeping in a warm bed where she belongs,” Eric Johnson wrote. “Once again thanks to everyone that either participated in searching for Bella or simply saying a prayer for her.”
