According to TMZ, Jessica's camp employed the use of tracking dogs, as well as posters in her neighborhood, as the family relentlessly searched the surrounding neighborhood and organized a mass calling of neighbors in an effort to locate Daisy.

TMZ also claimed that the services of a pet psychic were offered to a distraught Jessica. It is not known if the 29-year-old used the pet psychic in the search.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Jessica lashed out at her critics on her Twitter follow the dog's disappearance.

"Still holding out hope despite the a**holes that say is it a dumb thing to do," Jessica Tweeted Wednesday night. "Daisy is my baby…why would I stop searching? I'm a mom."

One of Jessica's critics was Martha Stewart, who told Us Weekly on Wednesday, "It's pretty sad. She should have watched it more closely, though. She should have been more careful."
