The Gogglebox cast<\/a> are all very well, but it\u2019s their four-legged friends who frequently steal the show. Whether they\u2019re hopping up on laps, scoffing snacks they shouldn\u2019t, performing cute tricks \u2013 or in a couple of memorable cases, accidentally head-butting their owners \u2013 their cameos often make for Gogglebox gold.<\/p>\n

The couch potatoes\u2019 pets have duly amassed their own fan followings. Smitten viewers take to Twitter whenever their furry favourites appear on-screen.\u00a0Each time the show\u2019s social media team shares a picture of the dogs, they get inundated with viewers\u2019 snaps of their own pets watching along too.<\/p>\n

As the Channel 4 favourite returns for its 19th season, here\u2019s your handy (and probably paws-y) guide to the canine cast.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s time they got their own spin-off. Welcome to Dogglebox. Or should that be Goggledogs?<\/p>\n

In Manchester it can get pretty crowded in the Malone family\u2019s front room. Squeezed in alongside the humans are three more mainstays: their panting pet Rottweilers, Dave, Bob and Lucy. These gentle giants are regularly seen lying awkwardly across laps or blocking the TV screen.<\/p>\n
They appear to watch the telly too, with a habit of barking at wildlife documentaries. Dave especially causes slobbery chaos \u2013 knocking over the ever-present plate of cakes, licking his bits on camera or over-excitedly biting patriarch Tom\u2019s face-mask. He once butted his master on the nose, causing Tom to memorably mutter: \u201cYou k**bhead, Dave!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
