DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - A missing guide dog for the blind named Sidney was found Saturday, according to Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB), the nation’s largest guide dog school. He was reunited with his owner of four years, Caroline Mosely, who is legally blind.

The five-year-old black Labrador, was reported missing from his East Dallas backyard Wednesday after fireworks spooked him.

Mosely reached out to GDB, a nonprofit organization that breeds 900 dogs annually to train them to work with the blind and visually impaired, for help finding Sidney.

The GDB and Mosely credit media reports, volunteers who posted flyers around the area where the dog was last seen and a special Facebook page for the happy reunion that ensued.
