Jennifer Aniston found love on the set of Friends, but not with David Schwimmer as many may have thought. It wasn’t even with a fellow human, but with a dog named Norman who was struggling during a scene with her co-stars Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry. Aniston ended up taking Norman home and from that moment on, her love for dogs blossomed and has continued to this day. Even though Norman passed away in 2011, Aniston got a tattoo on her foot to commemorate her beloved pooch. Reflecting on their time together, Aniston fondly remembers her first canine companion even 13 years after his passing. Sharing her story with People Magazine while promoting her new book, Aniston expressed how Norman was her first dog and how their bond happened by chance.

“They are struggling to keep up. What breaks my heart is seeing perfectly healthy two-year-old dogs, puppies, or entire litters being euthanized. It’s overwhelming, just too much for me to bear,” she expressed.
Her book aims to encourage children to support dogs in need. “Kids nowadays are so absorbed in their phones, getting lost in the endless scroll,” she noted. “They need to disconnect and engage with the world around them, discover their passions.”
At present, she cares for two dogs. For further details and to contribute, please visit www.theclydeofund.org.
