Two-year-old Charlee Campbell and her dog Penny went missing in Lebanon Junction for nearly two days before emerging from the woods and returning home safely.<\/p>\n

While Charlee made it back unharmed, the Bullitt County Sheriff\u2019s Office is still investigating to understand exactly what happened.<\/p>\n

Her grandmother, Beth Campbell, expressed amazement that her granddaughter, who lives with her, survived the ordeal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they told me they found Mo, Charlee, I was overwhelmed with happiness,\u201d she said emotionally.<\/p>\n

Petting Penny, Beth called her \u201cour hero,\u201d firmly believing the dog stayed by Charlee\u2019s side the entire time she was missing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen my dog didn\u2019t come home, I knew he wouldn\u2019t leave that baby until she was safe,\u201d Beth said of the loyal pit bull.<\/p>\n

According to authorities, Penny returned home shortly before Charlee was found several hundred yards away at a neighbor\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m beyond words with how happy I am that this baby is back home. I love her more than anything in this world,\u201d Beth said tearfully.<\/p>\n

Wayne Brown, the man who found Charlee, said he was sitting on his couch praying for the little girl when he saw a blonde-haired child in his backyard.<\/p>\n

The experience affected him deeply, bringing back painful memories from his own childhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy little brother once went missing. He had climbed three fences and was found miles away. It was actually my uncle who found him, but sadly, he was already dead,\u201d Brown shared.<\/p>\n

After finding Charlee, Brown gave her water and called 911, but he still has questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey searched everywhere here. How did they miss her? And then she just shows up in a place that was already searched. How is that possible?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

The Bullitt County Sheriff\u2019s Office conducted a foot search from Brown\u2019s property on Roy Layne Road down the hill to Charlee\u2019s house, hoping to find tracks, scents (with dogs), or clues to solve the mystery.<\/p>\n

Charlee\u2019s family confirmed that she was hospitalized on Saturday morning but was doing well.<\/p>\n
