Ollie has not come back or been found by anyone. So she has probably done what all old dogs are supposed to do in the wild: they wander away and find a place to lie down for the last time.
As much as we treat our dogs as members of the family, they are, after all, dogs and what Ollie did was what she was made to do. I've been watching Cesar Millan, the dog whisperer guy. He actually helped me a lot in coming to terms with Ollie's demise. Dogs are not humans. Dogs become neurotic when people try to treat them emotionally as humans rather than as the pack animals dogs are.
So, Ollie did the natural and "right" thing for a dog and for her pack. She lived a loooong and happy life. If there is such a thing as the rainbow bridge, I'm sure Ollie will be waiting there, looking for a treat as always.

I wonder if it's a similar thing with cats? That they can become neurotic if you treat them too much like humans? Sometimes it seems like our ten-year-old felines' little personality quirks are become more exagerated. (But it could just be me!)
Anyway, I wish we could've found Ollie for you. But it sounds like you're coming to grips with it all and finding some peace.
