In an interview, Tom also shared that he considers adoption to be the only option. That’s how it happened with Hardy`s furry companion Woodstock, when he was an 11-weeks-old puppy, Hardy saw him running on the highway and could not just pass by. Since then, both have been inseparable for more than 6 years — Hardy even took him to the premiere of the film Legend in 2015.
In June 2017, the British actor shared the sad news that his beloved friend Woodstock had passed away of aggressive polymyositis. Tom posted a heartbreaking letter, full of love and appreciation, where he praised his companion and confessed that the world was a better place, when Woodstock was by his side.
Today, Tom is constantly helping homeless dogs find homes and is actively involved in PETA campaigns. He admits that wherever he goes, he always finds dogs and if people are looking for a dog, he’ll find them one.
