Distraught Jessica Simpson has lashed out at people advising her to stop looking for her coyote-snatched pooch - branding them "a**holes".

The star was left stunned when her beloved dog Daisy was taken by a coyote in front of her eyes as she exercised her pet outside her Los Angeles home on Monday.

She turned to Twitter.com to beg fans to help locate the missing mutt - and even called professional pet finders at FindToto.com to bump up her desperate search.

However, the singer has been left fuming by the number of fans urging her to give up hope and realize the dog will probably be dead - insisting it's just the same as losing a child.

On her Twitter.com page, she writes, "Still holding out hope despite the a**holes that say is it a dumb thing to do. Daisy is my baby... why would I stop searching? I'm a mom."
