The 66-year-old and his family had put posters offering a $10,000 reward near their Bel Air estate after their beloved pooch went missing earlier this month. But the search ended in sadness when Phoebe was found dead, reports a website. <img alt="Sylvester Stallone" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/apr/sylvester_stallone.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 398px;" /> Sylvester Stallone &quot;Phoebe&#39;s death has been very difficult for the family,&quot; said a source. The actor recently revealed he was forced to sell his beloved bullmastiff Butkus for just $50 when he was a struggling actor, but bought him back for $3,000 after he sold the script of &#39;Rocky&#39;. He said, &quot;I sold my bullmastiff Butkus to a little person. You can&#39;t use the word dwarf anymore? Let&#39;s just say a little person. I tied my dog up at the store with a sign that said a hundred bucks. I got $50 from this guy called little Jimmy.&quot; &quot;When I sold the &#39;Rocky&#39; script, I went to see Little Jimmy and begged for the dog back. He wanted to fight me and said he was gonna kill me, he was a crazy little person. I couldn&#39;t fight him - they&#39;d arrest me - so I offered to pay double. Anyway, $3,000 and several threats later. I ended up putting Little Jimmy in the movie &#39;Rocky&#39;,&quot; he added.
