Yes, I heard, too! Here's the note I got:

Smooth is found!!!
At 7:10 p.m. the phone rang and a voice said, "Martha, this is Janice. Bob says
tell you that dog is in the cage."
I called Michelle and probably split her eardrum and we both took off for
Pulley's Mill for maybe the 50th time but this was the ONE. I didn't call
anybody because I wanted to see her with my own eyes first, and there she was --
wearing the same collar as in the photos we used on the flyers.
We carried the trap down the hill and put it in the vehicle. We waited a few
minutes while Bob's sister came down, as she was the one who had called me
yesterday and said Bob had seen Smooth in his yard. She was very glad to see
people and was licking any fingers she could reach through the wire.
Then we drove in caravan to the secure kennel, carried the trap inside, and let
her out. She was SO hungry, when I left she was still looking for food and loved
having clean water. She looks remarkably good considering she's been out 12
days. She's thin but not severely thin, her eyes look puffy and she's favoring
her left hind.
After talking to Bob yesterday, I made the decision to move the first trap to
his yard, even though that meant both traps were within sight of each other. The
reasoning was that the terrain was so different she could have a choice of the
hilltop or the valley and trees. She chose the valley within an hour of the trap
being set.
Thanks to Darley Duffy and her "bible" on how to find a lost dog, and her
constant reminder, "Be patient!!!! Give her time!"
