Thursday was a sad day in a certain Hollywood household.

Tom Hanks lost a beloved member of the family: his dog, Monty. "Deep brown eyes, noble demeanor, finest dog ever," the Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close star wrote on his WhoSay page, sharing a picture of Monty enjoying the outdoors. "A sad day. Goodbye Big Boy, Hanx."

The only silver lining about Monty's passing?

All dogs go to heaven.

Who thinks Hooch was waiting at the pearly gates for Hanks' pup?
