(CNN) "Superman" star Henry Cavill has revealed that not all heroes wear capes -- some just have fluffy paws.
The British actor, best known for portraying the DC Comics character in the DC Extended Universe, has credited his dog for saving his mental health.
Cavill appeared alongside his pooch, Kal, on British talk show "Lorraine" on Monday to promote season 2 of his Netflix show " The Witcher " -- which is set to premiere on December 17. The conversation soon turned to his canine companion and he told host Lorraine Kelly just how important Kal was to him.
The film star regularly shares pictures of his well-groomed American Akita with his 17.7 million Instagram followers.
"He really is (my best friend)," the 38-year-old told Kelly as he stroked Kal. "We go everywhere together. He's 8 now and he has saved my emotional, psychological bacon plenty of times."

As someone who never wanted my dog, I bought her for my kids. That dog has completely improved my depression and mood over the last 2 years. I have no idea how I will handle her passing away.

If anyone was wondering what he actually said.

After the pass of my brother my dog helped me a lot. Having that daily routine of walking three times a day with my dog has gotten me into not wanting to turtle up into my room because my dog will be by my side the whole time.
