Jennifer Aniston Says She Adopted First Dog Norman From 'Friends' Set

Her Late Show retelling highlights her long-running rescue advocacy.

Overview

  • On Sept. 10, Aniston told The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that her first dog, Norman, came from the Friends production.
  • She first noticed him among dogs used in a Season 2 scene featuring New York street dog walkers.
  • After asking on-set animal trainers about adoption, she was told a stubborn dog was being retired, and she took him home at about one year old.
  • Norman later died in 2011, and Aniston has his name tattooed on her foot.
  • She remains active in promoting rescues, now caring for Clyde and Lord Chesterfield and recently publishing the children’s cookbook Cook with Clydeo inspired by Clyde.
