Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky’s beloved dog, Sunny, has gone missing.

The pair’s family and friends have put urgent call outs and desperate pleas for information online, in a bid to help find the adorable pet pooch.

The dog went missing in the back skirts of Byron Bay on Wednesday, having ran off after being zapped by an electric fence.

Tracey Sparkes, who goes horse riding with Elsa, shared a desperate Facebook plea to try and find the family’s dog after she ran away at 2pm on Wednesday.

On the Byron Bay Community Board, Tracey wrote on Wednesday: ‘Update: Sunny is still missing, now approaching her second night lost.’

‘She ran off after getting a zap from electric fencing.’

The post continued: ‘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 missing dog poster was also shared on Instagram by Chris’ personal trainer, Luke Zocchi.

The poster contained sweet photos of the pet pooch and more details about her disappearance, saying she is microchipped and a ‘much-loved family pet.’

Chris and Elsa live in Byron Bay on the far north coast of NSW, with their three children; daughter, India Rose, seven, and twin sons, Tristan and Sasha, two.

The family are often pictured with their stunning dog, taking her for regular runs on the beach and – with Elsa sometimes being pictured exercising alongside her.

Back in 2016, Chris shared a rare image alongside his gorgeous pooch with a sweet caption.

He wrote: ‘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.’

The caption continued: ‘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.’
