The Grand Tour
Top Gear’s Greatest Behind The Scenes Moments Told By Script Editor Richard Porter
The Top Gear Dog
Richard Hammond loves his animals, so when he got the Top Gear dog in 2006, him and the crew were very happy with their choice. Unfortunately, despite them loving the dog, she hated being in cars.
She’d often get sick, and as Porter explains, usually over James May. And if you put her on camera, she’d fall asleep.
Because of this, they slowly faded her out of the show, and Richard Hammond kept her until she passed away. She was well loved.
Oddly enough, she occasionally receives fan mail.
This is a great read, to be sure, and Mr. Porter is a very clever boy. 🙂
