In Albany, New York, Chelsea Blackwell’s 15-year-old dachshund, Blue disappeared on Monday. Panicked and absolutely devastated, Blackwell started driving around asking everyone she could find if they had seen a small brown dog.
According to Syracuse.com, when she drove up near the Greyhound Bus Station, she spotted a long line of vehicles and a crowd of people with cameras in the area. At first, Chelsea thought someone might have been shot, but thankfully that wasn’t the situation. Instead she had met up with a movie crew filming.
Chelsea asked around if anyone had seen her lost dachshund, and when one camera person told her a dog fitting that description had been found and a celebrity had been holding the pooch on her lap, she was both overjoyed and stunned. One hour later, Blue was about to be returned to his owner – there he was sitting in Hilary Swank’s lap in the back of a gray car.
Hilary posed with Chelsea for a Facebook photo with the following note:
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. I said who? He replied, a celebrity. He called the person who had him. And they said she’s on her way back. You’ll never guess who had him?
