The actor has just shared the devastating news that his beloved pet dog Woodstock passed away – and people all over the world are saying they’re crying for the canine they ‘haven’t even met.’

Hardy was in a car when they nearly ran over the 11-week-old Woodstock. The famous actor decided to stop his car and go after him.

Since that moment, the two have been inseparable – remember, Hardy even attended the premiere of the film Legend back in 2015 with the famous dog by his side.

So, when Woodstock recently died of aggressive polymyositis after six years of companionship, Hardy was full of praise for his dog. “I am ultimately grateful for his loyal companionship and love, and it is of some great comfort that he is no longer suffering. Above all, I am completely gutted. The world for me was a better place with him in it and by my side.”
