A blind black Labrador who was missing for three days has been reunited with her owner after being found by a drone.
The 11-year-old dog, named Molly, had disappeared and her owners feared they would never see their beloved pet again.
But after calling British charity Drone to Home, the dog was located within just two hours.
Footage captured by the drone shows Molly wandering around a meadow in Tissington, Derbyshire, before her owner stops and the two are finally reunited.
Molly wags her tail as she recognizes her owner’s voice before the two walk back to the car together.

Drone To Home CEO Phil James said Molly’s owner thought they would never find Molly again and feared she might have died.
The team was called on the third day of Molly’s disappearance and she was quickly found.
Phil said he was moved by the touching moment after watching the recorded video.
He said: ‘I don’t often get emotional, but the lab did bring a tear to my eye, I have to admit. I’m so happy for the owners to see them so happy.’
He started the mission in 2019 with just himself and one drone.
“I self-funded it until I registered as a charity on April 29, 2022, and so far we have reunited 2,487 dogs, three ponies, an emu, a skunk and nine cows,” he said.
“We receive an average of around 40 calls and messages per day through our virtual call center and we have trained 11 volunteers to answer the phone.”
“We all love what we do and have the best jobs in the world.”
