Abhay Deol is eye candy, this is a fact that girls obviously know. But does his love for all kinds of animals add to his hotness? Maybe it does...

The Deol boy admits that growing up with four-legged creatures played a major part in turning him into an animal lover. However, his favorites have to be dogs because there are three dogs at his parents' residence.

Taking up the cause of wildlife conservation was a clear result of his liking for animals.

According to him, the reason he took up this cause is because a decade later, he doesn't want to think that he didn't do anything to save certain species from getting extinct. Isn't that just great?

Maybe some stars need to take a leaf out of Abhay's book now!
