CBeebies have announced that another Tom Hardy episode of âBedtime Storiesâ will air, in tribute to his dog Woody.
The episode was filmed before Woodyâs death in June and, as was always the case in Tomâs previous Bedtime Stories, the dog will be by the actorâs side in the clip.
Fittingly, the story Tom reads is called âFleabagâ, and tells the tale of a young boy and his friendship with a scruffy dog.
A statement from CBeebies explains that Tom sees the story as a âfitting mark of respect to the memory of Woodyâ, adding that it will air in honour of National Dog Day on Saturday 26 August.
The pooch often accompanied Tom to various premieres and press events and when he died, the âTabooâ star shared an emotional blog post to pay tribute to his âbestest friend everâ.
âI donât normally speak out about family and friends but this is an unusual circumstance,â he said.
âWoody affected so many people in his own right so with great respect to his autonomy and as a familiar friendly face to many of you, it is with great great sadness a heavy heart that I inform you that after a very hard and short 6 month battle with an aggressive polymyositis Woody passed away, two days ago. He was only age six.
âWoody was the bestest of journey companions we ever could dream of having. Our souls intertwined forever.â
CBeebiesâ Bedtime Stories air every day at 6.50pm.
