Who's Cuter: Russell Tovey or His French Bulldog?

You may know actor Russell Tovey from his role as Kevin Matheson -- the boss and lover of Patrick, Jonathan Groff's character -- on HBO's Looking (or from the U.K. actor's extensive credits on British TV). Tovey has been doing great work on Looking, turning Kevin from a low-down cheater into a conflicted, three-dimensional young man.

It's clear that Tovey knows a lot about love; just look at his Instagram, which is stocked with adoring snapshots of him and his French Bulldog, Rocky. Tovey's love for Rocky is so intense, his character even wore a French Bulldog sweater on a recent Looking episode. See the pictures below and you'll understand the connection.
