Alison Sweeney searches for lost pooch

Stars are just like the rest of us--when a pet gets loose and runs away, they'll do anything to find their loved one. Such is the distressing story of "Days of Our Lives" star Alison Sweeney, whose Chihuahua, Paco, is lost.

Paco slipped out the door of Alison's home in the Hollywood Hills. Since then, she and her husband have been seeking their fawn-colored, short-haired Chihuahua. Paco is a 4-year-old male and weighs only 4 pounds, so if you happen to be strolling through Hollywood, keep your eyes open!

Alison has turned to lost dog site Fido Finder to assist in searching for her pooch. Fido Finder is a national lost dog database designed to help the public reunite lost dogs with their owners by utilizing the power and reach of the Internet. The celebrity couple has posted a $1,000 reward on Fido Finder for Paco's safe return.

We wish Paco and Alison the best and hope for a speedy reunion!
