Pamela Anderson's dog gone

(BANG) - Pamela Anderson's pet dog has gone missing.

The actress' Chihuahua Luca disappeared while it was being looked after by her parents, while Pamela was filming new movie 'Blonde and Blonder' in Vancouver.

The pooch was being walked on a private beach in Malibu on Sunday afternoon (19.11.06) when it suddenly vanished.

Pammie is distraught and is convinced Luca has been 'dog-knapped'.

The former 'Baywatch' star - who is an ardent animal rights campaigner - wrote on her personal website: "My little Chihuahua Luca went missing off a beach in Malibu on Sunday afternoon. I think somebody took him. I was returning home from Vancouver and spoke to my parents at 3.30pm.

"They were on a private beach with him, which he knows very well. He normally runs on the beach but has been on medication and could have been groggy and not himself. There was a construction crew and an odd person walking along the beach on the public pathways. I need him back."
