Jennifer Aniston Adopts First Dog Norman From Friends Set

Jennifer Aniston shared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert that her first dog, Norman, was adopted from the set of the sitcom Friends, where Norman made a guest appearance in a Season 2 episode. Norman, a Welsh corgi-terrier mix, was part of a scene involving the characters Joey and Chandler babysitting Ross's baby, Ben, and was one of many dogs being walked on leashes through New York City streets. Aniston learned from the show's animal trainers that Norman was being retired due to his stubbornness and inconsistent behavior, so she adopted him when he was just one year old. Norman lived to the age of 15 and has his name tattooed on Aniston's foot as a tribute. Aniston, an advocate for rescuing dogs, currently has other pets, including Lord Chesterfield and Clyde, and recently sparked romance rumors with new boyfriend Jim Curtis. The story highlights Aniston’s long-standing love for rescue dogs and her connection to Friends beyond the show itself.
