Hollywood actor Chris Hemsworth and his model wife Elsa Pataky are praying for the safe return of their dog Sunny after she ran off near to their Australian home.

A desperate search is underway after Sunny the groodle - which is, apparently, a cross between a golden retriever and a poodle - ran off during a walk after getting shocked by an electric fence.

The celebrity couple and their friends have been searching far and wide, as well as appealing for any information about their beloved family pet on social media.

Sunny went missing near to Hemsworth and Pataky's home in Byron Bay, New South Wales on Wednesday. The pair live together in a A$20m (£11m) mansion on Australia's scenic coast.

Hemsworth and Pataky met in 2010 and married later that year, they have three children together, a daughter called India Rose, and twin sons called Tristan and Sasha.

Obviously, they have a fur baby too, and they're hoping to get her back.

Tracey Sparkes, who is one of Elsa's horse riding friends, shared an emotional plea for Sunny's safe return on Facebook.

On the Byron Bay Community Board Facebook page, she wrote: "Update: Sunny is still missing, now approaching her second night lost.

"She ran off after getting a zap from electric fencing.

"She is a large cream groodle, very friendly. Her hair is quite a bit longer than in the photo. Please call if you see her."

A poster about the missing dog was also shared by Chris' personal trainer, Luke Zocchi.

The poster reads: "Sunny. Last seen around 2pm on Wednesday 4th September.

"Ran off after getting zapped from an electric fence. Female large ice cream groodle, very friendly, microchipped."

It adds that Sunny is a 'much loved family pet'.

The family are often seen out and about with the dog by their side. Chris frequently takes Sunny for walks on the beach and the groodle is often seen exercising with Elsa.

Back in 2016, Chris shared an adorable picture of himself with the pooch, writing: "Had an epic 'stare off' with this vicious beast today, neither of us gave an inch and both refused to back down, it went for seven hours and then she passed out.

"We both have major respect for one another now but I'm pretty sure I'm top dog round these parts from here on #turfwar #neverbackdown."

Here's hoping that the Men in Black and Thor star and his family can get their beloved family pet back sooner rather than later.
