Jesse James' dog was located safe and sound by Newport Police a month after it initially went missing.
"THEY FOUND HER!!!!!!!!!!" James announced in an Instagram post on Wednesday night.
Coco, his French bulldog, had been missing since mid-July in Rhode Island and a $5,000 reward was being offered.
James, founder of West Coast Choppers motorcycle customizing business, was the star of "Jesse James is a Dead Man" on Spike TV and "Monster Garage" on the Discovery Channel.
"I guess she snuck into a small room in a vacant house in the neighborhood and could not get out. SHES BEEN IN THERE A MONTH!!" he wrote.
James said he received a call from Newport police, who told him the homeowner came back and found Coco stuck inside.
Officer Matthew Sardinha took the 6-year-old French bulldog to Newport Animal Hospital.
"I'm just Blown Away. I've been praying so hard to find her. God really does Answer prayers!!" said Jesse. "You guys made the difference! I am so thankful that you all did this!!"
James said he was booking a "flight to Rhode Island now to get my little Coco."
James also shared some snaps of Coco having his first meal in over a month.
In another shot, you can see the effects the time away from home had on Coco. Looking clearly skinnier, the pup had lost 10 lbs according to James.
Jesse wrote, "She weighs 10 lbs.. She usually weighs 20 lbs."
