A New York woman searching for her lost dog got a surprise when it was found by Oscar-winning actor Hilary Swank.
ALBANY, New York -- Chelsea Blackwell's dachshund, Blue, disappeared Monday, and the distraught owner went in search.
"I pulled over and thought, oh man, did someone get shot? What's going on?" she said Wednesday."I mean, there were like eight police cars. There was like all these people with cameras." "I was like, 'No way,'" Blackwell said."As soon as she got out of the car, I kissed Blue and said, 'Thank you so much.'""I'd stopped and asked if someone seen a little brown dog? A man walked over to my car and said, 'Yes, this woman picked him up,'" she wrote in her post.
Swank established a foundation, Hilaroo - a portmanteau of her name and the name of a dog she adopted, Karoo - that matches abandoned dogs with children whom the foundation says"have been given up on by society."
