It is expected that the upcoming special program for the hit sitcom Friends will throw light on various trivia including some interesting tidbits about the dog called Pat, which was owned by Jenifer Aniston.

Fans are waiting eagerly to watch the special reunion program of their popular TV series as soon as the COVID-19 pandemic subsides. However, the show would not be a reboot as what was expected earlier.

It would be a sheer joy to watch the original six lead actors appearing on this special program though it might not be a chat show kind of a reunion. Fans will remember that Pat was a huge statue of a white dog, which Joey (Matt LeBlanc) purchased after he bagged his first major part in a soap opera. 

Viewers are aware that Joey portrayed the character of Dr. Drake Ramoray in the sitcom Days of Our Lives. He spent his first paycheck on certain luxury items including a collection of animal statues. 

However, after the show’s writers get irritated with Joey, his character on the show is killed. He is in a great financial crisis and had to sell his animals and shift with the group. 

Ross (David Schwimmer) hunts for the dog and purchases it for his friend. That was the only animal statue he could buy with the limited resources he has. 

Thereafter, audiences can catch a glimpse of the dog in several episodes. There comes a time when Joey gifts it to Chandler (Matthew Perry). However, Monica (Courteney Cox) hates the dog and puts it on her balcony. 

When the TV series ends, fans find the movers moving out of Monica’s apartment with the dog statue. It was obvious from her lines that she was still not fond of the statue. In reality, Pat was removed from the set and directly put back in Jen’s apartment. 

Joey purchased Pat after bagging a big offer and Jennifer Aniston, who was the dog’s real owner, got it similarly. She got it as a gift after clinching the role of Rachel Green on Friends, Showbiz Cheat Sheet reports. 

While the dog, which was seen on the sitcom, was not a real one, Jennifer Aniston had a real dog. The actress had a pet dog she owned jointly with her former husband Justin Theroux, which had an uncanny resemblance to Pat. 

It was a huge white shepherd and was called Dolly. However, it was unfortunate that the dog died after Aniston and Theroux parted ways. 

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux did come together to express their grief on her passing, according to another report by Showbiz Cheat Sheet. The former couple shared some heart-wrenching moments as they mourned their pup’s death.
