She's got long dark locks, dignified poise and a withering look - all the ingredients for a social media superstar.

The 'supermodel' pup is a highly decorated Sydney show dog but struck true fame after her recent retirement when a photo of her was shared more than a million times.

It captured her sitting on a bench with her extraordinarily long hair splayed out wide completely obscuring the wood while she stared into the distance.

Owner Luke Kavanagh didn't expect her to light up social media, but wasn't surprised that she struck a chord as she was 'far too pretty to keep at home'.

'Even our weekend walks draw a crowd. She pretends she doesn’t need the attention, but she definitely loves it, just like any supermodel,' he told NewsLocal.


'I guess people were mostly drawn to [the photo] because of her silky coat coupled with that dignified look that Tea has, but that’s just her being her.'

Tea is still her owner’s sweetheart. ”I have such a special bond with Tea & we have shared a lifetime of wonderful moments together.”
