Actress Brooke Burns is celebrating after her lost dog was found safe and well.

The Melrose Place star and her daughter Madison, nine, were left devastated this week after three-year-old black Maltipoo Max escaped from their Toluca Lake, California home when painters left a door open.

Burns offered a $250 reward for Max's safe return - and she was delighted when a pooch matching the description of her Maltipoo was discovered by a neighbor of her dog groomer, reports TMZ.com.

The pet has now been reunited with Burns.
