More from Paw Nation: Pet On The Street
In this clip from our weekly video series, we are asking dog owners what annoys their dog the most?

No Jessica Simpson interview is complete these days without an inquiry into the much-publicized loss of her Maltipoo, Daisy. The five-year-old dog, a gift from her then-husband Nick Lachey, was taken by a coyote one month ago and is now presumed dead.

"Daisy meant the world to me," the star told UsMagazine.com. "I hold her memory very, very close. It was an unfortunate thing what happened. That I don't have her every day... it's a very hard thing to talk about."

Will Simpson get a new dog? "I haven't really thought about another dog yet, but maybe sometime," Simpson continued. "[Daisy] would want that."

Betsy Rosenfeld, author of "The Complete Single's Guide to Being a Dog Owner: Choose the Right Breed, Train Your New Pup, Balance Dating and Dog Duties, Find Doggy Daycare and Travel With Your Dog," weighs in on Simpson's sad situation.

"I feel so much for Jessica Simpson," Rosenfeld tells Paw Nation. "Daisy was a constant source of unconditional love for her. To not have that enduring companionship is devastating."

Celebrity pets keep going MIA, but this time there's a happy ending.

Brooke Burns, former "Baywatch" star and co-host of Fox reality game show "Hole in the Wall", was devastated when her black Maltipoo Max went missing last week, just weeks after Jessica Simpson's Maltipoo was snatched up by coyotes.

Burns went so far as to hire FindToto.com, an AMBER Alert-type service that calls neighbors in the area to inform them of a lost pet. (Simpson also hired the service, to no avail.)

Fortunately, all Burns needed was her trusty groomer.

According to TMZ, Burns' groomer mentioned Max's disappearance while chatting with another client -- and it just so happened that the client's neighbor had just found a black Maltipoo. They put two and two together and Max was soon reunited with Burns.

Max's groomer definitely has it!

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.

Lots of people break big news over Twitter. For Jessica Simpson, the latest dish is nothing short of heartbreaking.

Simpson's dog, Daisy a maltese-poodle mix, was taken by a coyote yesterday, reports MSNBC.com. The 29-year-old singer tweeted about the incident last night. "My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes. HORROR! We are searching. Hoping. Please help!" she wrote on her Twitter page.

Simpson also posted a Twitpic of a "Reward Offered" poster featuring a photo of the carmel-colored pup and asking anyone with information about the missing dog to get in touch via e-mail.

"We heard yelling and screaming coming from the direction of Jessica's house around 9 p.m.," an unidentified neighbor told the Boston Globe. "I can only imagine that it was that moment that it happened because the next day we saw posters up around the neighborhood announcing that Jessica had lost her dog to a coyote. It's so sad."

The Boston Globe adds that it's not the first time Jessica has tweeted about Daisy. Last month, she wrote on her twitter page that Daisy was smitten with a dog named Bella. "Daisy and her best friend Bella back together again. Lesbian lovas forever!" she wrote.
