ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — A dog that went missing just minutes before his owners’ wedding has been found in upstate New York.

Stephanie Woodward and her now-husband tied the knot on Friday — just minuted before Rocky’s disappearance.

Immediately, the couple began putting up fliers and offering a $500 reward for Rocky’s safe return.

ROCKY IS SAFE ♡ We can't thank Rescued Treasures enough for helping to track his location and set up traps for him. He was trapped at 2:30am. We also thank @artisanchurch for letting us set up Rocky HQ here & the community for helping us figure out his location! THANK YOU ♡♡ pic.twitter.com/Jh1NBKdUFg

Woodward posted to Twitter on Tuesday, thanking the Rochester community and informing all that Rocky was found and is now safe.

Rocky is loving life! He’s finally home after running off from his parent’s wedding four days ago #communityeffort #ROC #rochesterny @EmaleeBurkhard @IStepFunny @News_8 pic.twitter.com/wYDLAmOds3
