Man needs a best friend for companionship, wild times and emotional support. Sometimes that friend is a dog.
Enter Rocco, Tom Hardy's puppy in the upcoming crime drama The Drop, which also stars Noomi Rapace and the late Sopranos actor James Gandolfini.

Hardy plays lonesome bartender Bob Saginowski, who is trapped in a dangerous money-laundering scheme involving bars in Brooklyn, New York -- including that of his employer Marv (Gandolfini).
Amid the chaos, there's his puppy, as you'll see in the exclusive clip, above:
Saginowski actually rescues the pup in The Drop, which was formerly titled Animal Rescue.
Dropping in theaters on Sept. 12, the Michaël Roskam-directed movie will take viewers on a ride to witness a botched robbery and the subsequent investigation into the crime.
