Is there a Hollywood conspiracy targeting Maltipoo dogs? Yet another cuddly Maltese poodle mix belonging to a celebrity has gone missing. According to TMZ, former "Baywatch" star Brooke Burns' Maltipoo named Max disappeared on Saturday, October 3.

Learning of Max's disappearance, FindToto.com -- a pet locater service that assisted last month in the search for Jessica Simpson's lost Maltipoo Daisy (who was snatched by a coyote and, sadly, never found) -- reached out to Burns and offered their assistance. In the lost dog flyers that Burns posted around her neighborhood, she pleads with the public for help in finding Max, offering a $250 reward. "He is a very friendly, black Maltipoo," states the flyer. "Please call us with any information. He is the pride and joy of a 9 year-old girl."

According to Colleen Busch, Director of Public Relations for Findtoto.com, "Brooke had painters over [to her house] doing some work and someone left a door open, and Max got out." Findtoto.com, which sends a telephone message to neighbors surrounding an area where a pet was last seen, broadcast a "lost pet alert" message to 5,000 homes in Burns' area.

We hope they find Max very soon. As for other Hollywood celebs who also have Maltipoos -- Vanessa Hudgens, Blake Lively, and Miley Cyrus, just to name a few -- we suggest that the stars keep their pooches close -- very close.
