Indeed, the white shepherd mix was spotted as it escaped from famous owner Jennifer Aniston’s sprawling home on Wednesday – prompting alarm from neighbours.
She was joined by another, smaller dog, but while her companion was soon caught and led back into the grounds of Jennifer's Bel Air home, Dolly ventured out onto the open road.

Local residents and camped photographers joined forces to cajole the pooch back inside.
While disaster was averted, news of their easy escape will not come easy to Jennifer, a devoted dog owner who adopted Dolly as a puppy in 2006.
Earlier this year sources claimed she was warming to the idea of finding a suitable role for Dolly in one of her forthcoming movies.
‘Jen taught Dolly to sit, shake and roll over in a few hours, so she’s convinced Dolly has the talent – she just needs the right training,’ an insider told Showbiz Spy. ‘She even tried to get Dolly cast in her current movie, Squirrels To The Nuts.

‘Jen’s been grilling the dog trainers on the set for tips on finding the best possible training to get Dolly camera-ready.’
The 44-year-old actress was devastated when Welsh corgi-terrier Norman, her dog of 15-years and a regular companion on the set of Friends, passed away in 2011.
Jennifer and fiancé Justin Theroux later adopted distinctive black and white pit-bull pup Sophie as a replacement.

‘She's the most adorable little cookie you've ever seen,’ Theroux told New York Magazine of her distinctive features at the time. ‘She looks like she just smoked an exploding cigar.’
While promoting Marley & Me, ironically about a couple’s relationship with a pet dog, Jennifer opened up about her affinity with animals.
She said: '(My dogs taught me about) patience and that sort of unconditional love - they're yours and especially you are theirs.
'Men come and go but there really is no relationship like the one you have with a dog - and then they don't live as long as they should.
'You have to say goodbye way too soon. It's just so sad. It makes me so sad. But their love is unconditional and I love that.'
