Superman actor Henry Cavill says his pet dog ‘saved’ him from mental health struggles

Fans were delighted to see Cavill’s dog by his side as he chatted with host Lorraine Kelly — and the actor opened up about just how much the pet means to him.

“He really is my best friend, we go everywhere together,” Cavill said, according to Daily Mail.

He explained that Kal has helped him greatly with his mental health: “He has saved my emotional and psychological bacon plenty of times. We have an incredibly close bond,” Cavill explained.

“He senses it when I’ve got my own stuff on, he’ll be close — he’s almost always close, but he’ll be closer.”

With a bond that close, it’s no surprise that Cavill likes to keep his best friend around at all times — even when he’s on set.
