Tom Hardy: actor, cool guy... dog saviour?
It would appear so, after news emerged that , on 16 January, Hardy rescued a litter of abandoned Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppies in London by taking to Instagram and sending out a plea to his 520,000 followers to find them a new home.
Lovely.
"New Staffies found and brought to Battersea this am in a box found in park. Look at them. I want to house them all 8 weeks old. Go see them xxx," he wrote, prompting an outpouring of interested parties.
Hardy himself is a renowned dog lover, frequently posting snaps of himself with canine friends on his social media. He also wrote an emotional tribute after his dog Woody passed away last year.
Thankfully, this latest tale has a happier ending, as Battersea Dogs and Cats Home later reported that all the dogs had found new owners.
[asset removed due to syndication rights]Intake Manager Steve Craddock confirmed (via Yahoo! News): "These puppies had a lucky escape. The whole experience must have been very frightening for them. It was a cold day and they could have easily got hypothermia, suffocated or died of dehydration.
"Fortunately, they were found in time and – after a drink, a sleep and some TLC – made a full recovery, and now they're charging about enjoying life with playful puppy enthusiasm."
