A beloved statue, that was recently stolen, is now back where it belongs.

Wednesday morning "Dolly the Llama" was returned to her rightful owners. The stature was stolen from the artist's Sunnyside home. Fresno artist Chris Sorensen created the piece 30 years ago. They thought it was gone for good. But Dolly was found last week behind a store's dumpster in Hanford.

The owners are happy she is back. "Its been out in the weather for more than 30 years and it doesn't even look at dirty."

For now the statue will stay inside the artist's studio for several up coming events. It will eventually be returned to the yard but this time it will be fenced in and bolted down.
