"They questioned, I’m not kidding you, the dog walker and they kept the dog for four hours," she said.

Rudolph shared a photo of Ollie, who appeared to be visually traumatized, in the back seat of a squad car. The audience let out a very audible "Awwww." 

The actress, a former SNL star featured in the film Bridesmaids, said the dog is nominated for an American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals award.
