Miley Cyrus has added dog rescuer to her sizable resume: The singer, actress and dancer helped find her aunt’s missing Maltese.
The “Hannah Montana” star was spotted peddling a bike around her aunt’s Toluca Lake, Calif., neighborhood and calling out for the missing dog. Cyrus was also seen posting several handwritten signs, which offered a reward for the 7-month-old, 3-pound dog named Bunny.
Cyrus was elated when the dog was found, some hours after he had gone missing. The emotional reunion was caught by paparazzi cameras, prompting TMZ.com to call the incident an elaborate “publicity stunt.”
This isn’t the first time 15-year-old Cyrus found a missing dog. In February, Cyrus and her dad, country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus, found a lost dog near a Los Angeles restaurant they had been visiting. The father and daughter, who are working on the third season of their hit TV show and preparing for a “Hannah Montana” movie, were photographed playing with the lost dog until he was reunited with its owner.
