Dolly Addison, reunited with her owner today in Windsor, Ontario, is an international celebrity.

At least, the little doll found in Mackinaw City was a big hit among the Canada Border Services Agency agents on duty today at Windsor.

MLive.com reporter John Gonzalez, who delivered the lost doll from Mackinaw City to her recently located owner in Windsor, says the customs agents knew all about the social-media sensation.

Addison Drake is shown above with her parents today as she was reunited with her namesake doll, left behind in July in an Arnold Mackinac Ferry parking lot.

Ferry staff launched a six-week social media campaign that located the owner this week.
