She's been busy pushing herself to her physical limits while filming the latest installment of the xXx franchise. 

But Ruby Rose enjoyed some down time in the gorgeous Dominican Republic on Friday, kicking back in the swimming pool with her rescue dog Roo. 

With her aqua-dyed locks falling over her face, the 29-year-old smiled and laughed as the wet pooch swam slowly to the side of the pool in a video shared to Instagram.

'She's not a Pisces like me,' she wrote in the caption, making reference to the astrology sign that is represented by fish.

The Orange Is The New Black star laughed as the dog placed her paws up on the side of the pool to hoist herself out of the water. 

'And then there's the slow exit,' laughed Ruby.

Her expressive pup has accompanied her owner throughout her travels filming her latest film alongside veteran action star Vin Diesel.

Sharing a selfie she took while on the plane, Roo's eyes open wide as she gets snuggled tightly by Ruby.  

'When your 'ride or die' is scared of flying hahaha,' the model-DJ wrote in the caption.

A firm believer in animal rights, Ruby was recently announced as the face of cosmetics brand Urban Decay, who do not participate in animal testing. 

In a smouldering snap for the makeup label, Ruby sported a tough faux leather vest with winged liner and bright pink lips. 

While speaking about her new role with Urban Decay, Ruby praised the brand for celebrating that same individuality that she has always endeavoured to embrace.

'Urban Decay believes in supporting individuality and personal self-expression— two values I hold very dear— because everyone deserves the freedom to explore their personality and discover their true selves,' she said.
