The Associated Press says Chelsea Blackwell’s dachshund dog, Blue, went missing on Monday, sending her into a frenzy searching for her around town. She drove around looking for about an hour until she saw a line of squad cars and people taking photos at a bus station in Albany, New York. Blackwell pulled over to see what was going on and found a movie crew.

Blackwell told the AP she was asking people if they had seen a brown dog. A man came up to her and said he saw a woman pick up the dog and that she was a celebrity.

After a phone call and about an hour later, her dog, Blue, pulled up in a car with two-time Oscar-winning Hilary Swank, who has been known for rescuing dogs before, according to the AP. Swank created the Hilaroo foundation named after own rescue dog, Karoo, that works to match abandoned dogs with children who need a chance.

Blackwell asked for an autograph from Swank but got a photo together instead, according to the AP.
