“He passed away in December and he was a good friend to me. It’s funny to say ‘dog’ because I feel like, there was something about George where I think he felt like being a dog was beneath him,” Gosling said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

He added, “He would not do tricks. If you wanted him to sit down you had to sort of convince him it was in his best interests.”
