Like magic, large rabbit stolen from Utah farm reappears

SALT LAKE CITY-- Like a magic hat trick, alarge rabbit named Dolly Parton who disappeared from a Salt Lake County farm has suddenly reappeared.

KSL-TV of Salt Lake City reports that Wheeler Historic Farm announced Dolly's return Sunday morning.

Someone broke the lock of Dolly's pen and stole the rabbit Wednesday between 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., according to Wheeler Historic Farm director Kathleen Bailey, CBS affiliate KUTV reported.

Murray police say the lock on Dolly's cage had been cut, leading investigators to believe the bunny-napping was premeditated.

The farm quickly posted a message to their Facebook page to get the word out about Dolly's disappearance, which was shared over 1,700 times by Sunday afternoon, KUTV reported.

On Sunday morning, farmer and blacksmith Mike Lloyd went to go feed the rabbits when Dolly Parton was mysteriously back inside of her cage, KUTV reported.

Farm officials say they don't know how or when she was returned. But they're thankful to whoever brought her back.

Dolly is one of three Flemish giant rabbits at the farm.
