Ralf took to Instagram to share images of him with his new furry friend, named Susie, and explained that he’s looking to get the puppy adopted. He wrote: "Ten days ago, we spotted this stray puppy struggling to cross the road. She didn’t seem to understand that the road was dangerous and kept going back and forth...We had to stop and feed her... and then we had to scoop her up in a towel and bring her with us to our original destination."

He continued: "We drove to the restaurant we were heading towards, L’Escape, which is run by Maryse and Fred, the same friends who looked after Dora for us when I had to go to America, and put her on the plane when the time was right. Once we’d got there, Maryse fell in love and named her Sue! She’s been staying with friends at the moment but we’ve been visiting daily to ensure she’s okay."

This isn’t the first time Ralf has saved animals from the streets. Earlier this year, Ralf adopted stray dog Dora after he found her abandoned while filming in for Death in Paradise in Guadeloupe.

Just three weeks ago he posted to Instagram marking a year since he found Dora. Sharing an image of him holding his beloved pet, he wrote: "Almost a year since I met this crazy little pup. To say you changed my life would be an understatement! Can’t wait to be reunited again…"
