It's been a really rough year for Jessica Simpson, what with the weight, the mom jeans and the hilarious dump right before her birthday. Of course, all of those were ripe for mocking. Now, this one is too, but only because it deals with coyotes, who, as everyone knows, are nature's comedians.

Jessica announced on Monday evening that her dog was taken by a coyote.

"My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes," Jessica Tweeted on Monday evening. "HORROR! We are searching. Hoping. Please help!"

The Simpson family made a poster in an attempt to get their dog back with a picture of the star's beloved malti-poo and a request to email in any information on the dog's whereabouts.

A rep for Jessica was not immediately available for comment on the story.

Is this story tragic? Sure, but it raises a lot of questions. Like, why was Jessica in a place where a coyote could just walk up and snatch her dog? Also, if it's this easy for coyotes to steal puppies, why have they only been going after roadrunners for all these years? I mean, I bet a mail-poo tastes a lot better than a bird, and clearly you get a lot less anvils to the head this way. I'm just saying, it's something for the coyotes of the world to think about.
