“I don’t normally speak out about family and friends but this is an unusual circumstance,” the Revenant star, 39, wrote in a remembrance that started with how he found the terrified pup on a turnpike. “Woody 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 polymyostisis Woody passed away, two days ago. He was only age 6. He was Far too young to leave us and We at home are devastated by his loss … Above all I am completely gutted.”
