Few people know that Jennifer Aniston was the one who adopted Matthew Perry’s pet dog after his death. Jennifer’s different treatment of her old friend’s dog compared to the other dogs at her house moved fans to tears.

In an incredibly touching act of kindness, Jennifer Aniston has revealed that she adopted Matthew Perry’s beloved dog after his tragic death in 2023. The news, which was kept private for several months, has now been shared with fans, leaving many in tears over the actress’s heartfelt tribute to her late friend and Friends co-star.

Matthew Perry, who portrayed Chandler Bing on the iconic sitcom Friends, passed away at the age of 54, leaving behind his dog, a rescue named Otis. At the time of his death, the actor had no immediate family to take care of his pet, and it was Jennifer, who had been a close friend of Matthew for decades, who quietly stepped in to ensure that Otis would have a loving home in his final years.

Jennifer, known for her deep love of animals, did not hesitate when she learned that Otis needed a new home. “When I found out about Otis, I knew I had to take him in,” Jennifer said in a recent interview, her voice filled with emotion. “Matthew and I shared so many memories over the years, and when I thought about his dog being left without a family, it just didn’t sit right with me. I had to do something.”

While Jennifer has always been open about her love for animals, this decision held deeper significance. Jennifer and Matthew had been close friends for years, and their bond was one of the most enduring relationships formed during their Friends years. Their friendship, which survived the highs and lows of Hollywood life, had been one of mutual support and understanding. Adopting Otis was Jennifer’s way of honoring that connection and ensuring that Matthew’s memory would live on in the form of the pet that had meant so much to him.

What fans may not know is that Jennifer’s treatment of Otis has been notably different from her other pets, and it’s this unique attention that has moved many people to tears. Jennifer has always had a strong connection with her own dogs, and her home is known for being a haven for her beloved pets, including her two other dogs, Sophie and Clyde. However, her relationship with Otis is deeply special and distinctly tied to Matthew’s memory.

Jennifer’s house, which has often been the subject of media attention, now features a special space dedicated to Otis, a cozy corner of the home adorned with photographs of Matthew and his dog. “It’s like a shrine,” one source close to Jennifer shared. “Jennifer has created a place in her home where she can remember Matthew, and it’s filled with photos of the two of them together. Otis has his own bed there, and every night, Jennifer spends a few minutes with him, talking to him about Matthew. It’s her way of keeping his spirit alive.”
