Jennifer Aniston recalled how she met her first dog, Norman. Norman passed away in 2011.
When she think about Norman and also her dog Dolly, who passed away in 2019, she will get a lump in her throat.
Aniston saw Norman when she was on the set Friends, decades ago. She recalled, "Norman was my first. And it was just a fluke. He was in a scene with Joey and Chandler on Friends when they left baby Ben on the bus. The episode in question was from season two, episode six, titled "The One With the Baby on the Bus", released in 1995".
"They were running through the streets and ran into a dog walker that had all these dogs. Norman was one of them, and I just fell in love."
Jennifer talked to the dog trainers on the set: "'Well, he's not getting hired because he doesn't really hit his mark.' So I jokingly said, 'I’ll take him.'"
"And they said, 'Absolutely.' And then I kind of had that moment of, 'Oh God, am I really?' And then that was it. I got the addiction to dogs and what they bring to you. Cut to now wanting to rescue all shelter puppies in the world."
Aniston even have his name tattooed on her right foot.
Currently Aniston wants to help animal rescue organizations worldwide by setting a fund through "The Clydeo Fund".
