Julia Roberts' lost dog Major FOUND thanks to social media-savvy Malibu neighbors

Julia Roberts was reunited with her beloved chocolate lab, Major, earlier this month after going missing in her Malibu neighborhood.

One of the 49-year-old Oscar winner's kindly neighbors found the lost pup at Zumirez gate near Little Dume Beach and made a lost and found post on social network, Nextdoor - according to TMZ.

The San Francisco-based app specifically connects neighbors for the purpose of a closer community, forming watch groups, selling items, finding babysitters, and other advice.

Luckily, Julia's second husband Danny Moder is on the Netxtdoor app and saw the post since she has never joined any social media sites herself.

The Smurfs: The Lost Village actress and the 48-year-old cinematographer were likely thrilled to bring Major back home to their three children - twins Phineas & Hazel, 12; and son Henry, 10.

Roberts will next produce and star in adaptations of Maria Semple's 2016 novel Today Will Be Different for an HBO series; and Cynthia Swanson's 2016 novel The Bookseller for a Crystal City Entertainment film.
