Tom Hardy's last 'Bedtime Story' will be a tribute to his late doggo and no, we're not crying

Hug your dog while you watch this final episode.

Tom Hardy will be lulling children into peaceful slumber with one last CBeebies Bedtime Story.

This episode is extra special not only because it's his final reading, but because it will be dedicated to his late good boy, Woody.

Woody was often Hardy's Bedtime Story companion. The sweet doggo would lie next to Hardy and fall asleep to the sound of him reading stories.

Woody sadly passed away earlier this summer from a muscle disorder. Hardy penned a heartfelt dedication to his best friend on his blog.

"Woody was the bestest of journey companions we ever could dream of having. Our souls intertwined forever," wrote Hardy. "Thank you Woody for choosing to find us. We will love you and be with you and you with us forever."

Hardy will be reading the book Fleabag by Helen Stephens. The story is about a homeless dog who befriends a boy in the park and finds his forever home.

What a beautiful tribute to such a good boy.

The episode will premiere Aug. 26 on CBeebies.
