Demi, who shares the house with toyboy lover Ashton Kutcher, is now offering a reward for the safe return of her beloved pooch and has plastered posters all around her neighbourhood in a bid to try and find the dog. The posters, which are written in both English and Spanish, feature a colour photograph of Louie and give a number to call if anyone has any information.

However, Demi’s neighbours are convinced the actress won’t find the dog - because it has been eaten by wild coyotes. One told America’s Star magazine: “Louie is gone. It is probably a coyote that got him. “There have been a lot of pets that have disappeared from this street over the years.”
