Hugh to the rescue! Jackman is forced to intervene when his pet pooch

As Wolverine, he posses extraordinary superpowers, with animal-keen senses and enhanced physical capabilities.
But in reality, Hugh Jackman unable to control his pet dog Dali on Wednesday when the over excited pooch managed to get tangled with a dog several times its size.
The 44-year-old Golden Globe winner had a tricky time trying to disentangle the two pooches, with Dali ending up being enveloped in a doggy-style bear hug.

 

It's a dog's life: Hugh Jackman's French bulldog Bali got a little over enthusiastic with a big white dog several times its size on Wednesday during a walk in New York City

Dali appeared to be tied to a chair as he made his new friend, with the large dog's owner trying her best to draw the dog away.
Hugh eventually managed to continue taking his dog for his New York City walkies, although Dali looked a little disappointed to be taken away from his larger friend so soon.
The star looked typically low key in jeans and a burgundy T-shirt, and was enjoying a solo walk with Dali through the sunshine.

He managed to tear the dog away, and later joined his wife Deborra Lee Furness to pick their seven-year-old daughter Ava and a friend from school.
The couple are celebrating their 17th wedding anniversary on Thursday and have one of the most successful marriages in showbusiness.
The couple met on the set of the Australian television show Correlli, in which Deborra starred as a prison psychologist.

The Australia natives married shortly after on April 11, 1996 in Melbourne.
Deborra-Lee, who is 13 years older than Hugh, suffered two miscarriages while undergoing IVF early in their marriage. The pair went on to adopt two children, Oscar, 12, and Ava.
Hugh told Katie Couric in a 2012 interview that it was love at first sight when he met Deborra-Lee.

 

Can't we go back and play? Dali didn't look that interested in heading home with Hugh

'It was the clearest thing in the world for me. I knew 100 percent… I’ve never known anything as confidently or sure in my life that she was the one I was going to be with,' he said.
'In any marriage there’s good times, hard times and bad times. Whatever happens I know we’re going to tackle it together. Truly she’s the greatest woman I have ever met,' he added.
Hugh is no doubt getting in shape for his role as Wolverine in the new film X-Men: Days Of Future Past, which will be directed by Bryan Singer, the director of the first film in the franchise.

Back again: Hugh will be playing Wolverine for the seventh time in the new film X-Men: Days of Future Past

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Hugh said of the film's script: 'I've read it. It's really, really fantastic.
'Wolverine is a character I've loved playing and I can't believe it's going to be my seventh time playing it. It just blows me away.'
However, Hugh admits returning to the intense physical regime and diet for his role as the clawed superhero is 'daunting.'
'I must admit I was starting to see a life free of steamed chicken breasts... My stomach and my mind were like, "Oh no." '
The ambitious blockbuster - which centres on a time-travelling plot - will unite the stars of the original X-Men franchise, including Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen and Anna Paquin, with the stars of 2011 prequel X-Men First Class, which starred James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence.
He will also play the superhero in action film The Wolverine which will be released in July.
The movie will see Hugh's character travel to Japan where he encounters  a figure from the past.
'There are so many areas of that Japanese story,' Hugh has said about the saga, originally explored in the comic book series.  'love the idea of this kind of anarchic character, the outsider, being in this world - I can see it aesthetically, too - full of honour and tradition and customs and someone who’s really anti-all of that, and trying to negotiate his way.
'The idea of the samurai, too - and the tradition there. It’s really great. In the comic book he gets his ass kicked by a couple of samurai - not even mutants. He’s shocked by that at first.'
