The pup's story went viral on social media after she ran away in the massacre that killed dozens and injured hundreds.

Needham and his family struggled to sleep in their days-long search for Rou, KSNV reported.

On Wednesday night, Needham spotted her in a field near Mandalay Bay. He hopped a fence to get near her, called for her and knelt down, he told KSNV. Rou ran straight to him and jumped into his arms.

Then, Needham did the comforting and the French bulldog dozed off in her owner's lap.
