Star of the films "The Dark Knight" and "Mad Max: The Road of Fury" Tom Hardy wrote an emotional letter in memory of his beloved dog Woody, who died this week.

In a long letter of dedication, Hardy calls his dog "angel" and "best example of male friendship". The dog lived with the actor from 2011, when Hardy picked it up on the road while filming another tape. Since then, the star and the unblooded Labrador were best friends, Woody often attended film sets.

"The best friend in life. For me and for a family whose love can not be expressed in words, and whom he loved as no one else can. Woody was the best companion of our lives, which we could not even dream of. Our souls are forever intertwined, "- so writes in the letter the actor.

The dog has suffered from poliomyositis for the last six months of life - inflammatory muscle damage.

"He was too young to leave us, we are heartbroken by loss. I'm incredibly grateful for his faithful friendship and love, and it's easier for me that he does not suffer anymore, "Hardy wrote. Also, an actor who rarely shares details of his personal life, posted a video clip in the social network with joint photos with Woody.

Recall, Tom Hardy recently launched a campaign to help victims of the terrorist attack at the Manchester Arena after the concert of singer Ariana Grande.
