Frenchie 'obsessed' with actor Henry Cavill and has shrine dedicated to him
A French bulldog is so obsessed with British actor Henry Cavill that she spends her days in a shrine dedicated to the star - and only watches TV if he is on screen.
Her owner Heather Land, 38, first noticed her pooch Rory's fascination with Cavill in September last year when she was watching the actor in The Witcher.
Three-year-old Rory's ears would perk up and she would stare at the screen every time the 39-year-old actor, who also starred as Superman, appeared in shot.
Author and illustrator Heather questioned if her pup liked the show, or the actor, so they then watched Man of Steel together - and she says Rory was riveted throughout and swears the obsession is not a hoax.

Rory's love for Cavill was confirmed when she would stare at the picture for minutes at a time, multiple times-a-day.
Heather, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, said that people started sending them items related to the actor and soon Rory's 'shrine' was created.

The British actor has starred in The Witcher and Superman (FilmMagic)She said: "First it started off as funko pops, a couple of posters and a little plushie of him. Now she has pillows, blankets and drawings of his face!
"She will bite, destroy and play with other toys, but never the ones of him.
"For her birthday in February I might get her a cardboard cutout of him and see what she does"

Rory can even spot the difference between pictures of Cavill and other famous lookalikes.
Although she doesn't get angry or protective over the items in her shrine, Heather said that she does look "so sad" if they are gone.
Heather has been posting about Rory and her antics on the social media site TikTok since April 2020.

Heather said: "The internet can be weird. I have one video of her love that is up to 5.5 million views and people just don't believe it.
"It took me three years to teach her 'down', so I really don't think I could teach her to recognise one actor out of four.
"She has the biggest personality of any dog I have had or met. She is just the best thing on the planet."
