CBeebies have announced that another Tom Hardy episode of โBedtime Storiesโ will air, in tribute to his dog Woody.
The episode was filmed before Woodyโs death in June and, as was always the case in Tomโs previous Bedtime Stories, the dog will be by the actorโs side in the clip.
Fittingly, the story Tom reads is called โFleabagโ, 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 โfitting mark of respect to the memory of Woodyโ, 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 โTabooโ star shared an emotional blog post to pay tribute to his โbestest friend everโ.
โI donโt normally speak out about family and friends but this is an unusual circumstance,โ he said.
โWoody 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.
โWoody was the bestest of journey companions we ever could dream of having. Our souls intertwined forever.โ
CBeebiesโ Bedtime Stories air every day at 6.50pm.
