A yellow Labrador retriever has been found three days after the car it was in rolled over on Interstate 93 in New Hampshire.

Trish Dale, of Warren, Vt., was driving home from a medical appointment with her two dogs Thursday when she fell asleep at the wheel. Her dog Buddy was found right away, but the other, named Tater Tot, disappeared. Dale suffered a concussion and a broken nose.

About 100 people who heard of the dog's plight searched for the animal Sunday. Judy and Bob Sylvia, of Manchester, N.H., were among the searchers and found 6-year-old Tater Tot curled up by a fence about a mile from where the accident occurred.

Dale and Tater Tot have been reunited, and Dale tells the New Hampshire Union Leader she couldn't ask for more.
