Orlando Bloom pays tribute to missing pet dog with tattoo over his heart

Orlando Bloom got a tattoo over his heart in honor of his dog Mighty, who has been missing and is now presumed dead.

In an Instagram post, the Hollywood actor shared a video of him getting inked with the word "Mighty." Below his beloved pet's name, an ace of spades was inset within a simple heart.

Bloom also penned an emotional message detailing how he left "no stone unturned" while looking for his best friend.

"I have wept more this week than I thought possible, which has been very cathartic and healing," he said.

Mighty’s on the other side now. After 7 days of searching from sunrise to sunset and into the wee hours, today, the 7th day ~the number of completion~ we found his collar... I have wept more this week than I thought possible, which has been very cathartic and healing... I left no stone unturned, crawled thru all the man holes, under the roads, searched every back yard and creek bed. Had two separate sniffer dogs do their best as well. I feel so grateful to have learned from my little Mighty man that love is eternal and the true meaning of devotion. I feel sure he was looking down on me whistling in every back yard and knowing that I was doing all I possibly could to respect our bond. He was more than a companion. It was a soul connection for sure. I’m sorry. I love you. Thank you. RIP my MIGHTY HEART my little fellow A ♠?’s ??Thank you to the community for allowing me to search through their yards for him and supporting my midnight walks. It was reassuring to see the best of people even in the worst of times. To the angels of @dogdayssar I’m forever in your debt. You ladies are heaven sent. Lastly thank you to @scottcampbell for the ink. I love you brother??l
