Two-year-old Charlee Campbell and her dog Penny went missing in Lebanon Junction for nearly two days before returning home safely.
While Charlee was unharmed, the Bullitt County Sheriff’s Office is investigating what happened. Her grandmother, Beth Campbell, was overwhelmed with relief and called Penny “our hero,” believing the dog stayed by Charlee’s side the whole time.
Penny returned home shortly before Charlee was found at a neighbor’s house. Wayne Brown, who spotted Charlee in his backyard, said he was praying for her when he saw her. The moment brought back painful memories of his missing brother, who was found too late.
Brown gave Charlee water and called 911 but remains puzzled about how she ended up somewhere already searched. Authorities conducted a foot search in the area for more clues.
Charlee was hospitalized as a precaution and is doing well.
