It's a dog's life! Bar Refaeli shows off her amazing bikini

As a glamorous model she is constantly jet-setting around the globe to exotic locales for photo shoots.

But it appears that Bar Refaeli is most content with home comforts - especially in the form of her gorgeous pet dogs.

The 27-year-old posted a series of pictures to Twitter that show her in a hot pink bikini lounging next to a pool, cuddling her adorable brown poodle Mishmash.

 

 

Puppy love: Bar Refaeli cuddled her teacup poodle Mishmash in a new Twitter picture she posted on Tuesday

The supermodel is seen lying on her back next to a sparkling blue swimming pool, cooing and kissing the tiny dog.

The Israeli-born stunner's skimpy string bikini showed off the curves that landed her at number one on Maxim's hot 100 list.

Bar scraped her highlighted blonde hair into a messy bun and shielded her eyes with over-sized sunglasses.

Bar appears utterly smitten with Mishmash, who she has posed with a number of times in her Twitter pictures.

She often posts photos of both her dogs together - Mishmash as well as a white poodle named Poochie.

The model told Tatler magazine she hoped to take the teacup poodles with her when she travelled, but they weren't on board with the idea.

'I bought them thinking I’d carry them around in a huge handbag when I travelled, but they weren’t so keen. They stay at home.'
Bar recently found herself at the center of controversy when Israel military chiefs called for her to be banned from a new campaign promoting the country because she did not complete her military service.

The model did not complete military service after she married in 2007. She divorced soon afterwards.

The Times of Israel reported that IDF Brigadier General Yoav Mordechai wrote to the Foreign Ministry to urge then to reconsider their choice.

But Refaeli was quick to hit back at the criticism in her homeland.

She wrote on her Twitter account in Hebrew: 'Foreign Office use the video or not but my Instagram has more readers than the Yedioth Ahronoth (Israel's most popular newspaper)!
