Oh no! Adriana Lima has lost a very important pooch!

The stunning supermodel took to Twitter Thursday to announce that her Maltese pup went missing.

"My dog, Ivy, disappeared in Miami two days ago. Ivy means so much to me and my family. Please watch..." Lima wrote with a link to her Facebook page and a "Lost" poster of the precious pooch.

"Please help me find my beloved Ivy.... I am in tears....." she tweeted again shortly thereafter, clearly distraught.

Adriana's manager tells E! News that Adriana is "heartbroken." She has had the dog for 7 years and Ivy has gone all over the world with her model mama.

Miami local news stations have picked up the story in an effort to spread the word about the missing pup, and in an audio recording, Lima pleaded with others to help find her dog. 

"Please, if anybody finds her, please, give us a call," Lima said to WSVN-TV local news via phone, "because she means so much to me and my family."

Lima lost the dog when she was on a trip to New York. Ivy was staying with Adriana's friends when she slipped out of an open door and has been missing ever since.

"I feel really like I lost a child," Lima said. "It's a really hard time for all of us. You know, she's been with us for so many years." 

Here's hoping Adriana and Ivy are reunited soon!
