While the Malone family have become a popular fixture on Channel 4's Gogglebox since they entered the show in 2014, their scenes are often stolen by the family's big pet Rottweilers.
So fans of the show have greeted the news that one of the pack has died with sadness.
The Manchester family are known for sharing the Googlebox sofa with the dogs, and often trying in vain to stop them from stealing the show.
