The former Bond girl took to her Twitter.com page to pay tribute to her 13-year-old French bulldog Hank and share a photograph of the pooch with her fans.

She writes, ""Last night (20Jan13) we lost our beloved Hank… I will miss him dearly, 13 yrs (years) old… been there for me thru (sic) it all. Best dog ever & part of our family.""

Hank wasn't Richards' only pet dog - she adopted Tara, a puppy displaced by superstorm Sandy, in November (12) after falling in love with the Labrador while volunteering at the North Shore Animal League America organisation in Long Island.
