Dickens: Grantchester's Top Dog
“What the Dickens!”
Any Grantchester fan will tell you that they are in love with the show’s furry troublemaker–black Labrador Dickens. What you may not know is that this pooch has some serious industry bite behind his bark! We chatted with animal trainer, agent, and Dickens’ owner Charlotte Wilde—to get the inside scoop on the series’ celebrity canine.
When Charlotte got on board with the project, she was tasked with finding the dog destined to be Dickens! As there were only two pups in his litter, it wasn’t exactly a difficult decision—but Dickens really went the extra mile to win her heart. Charlotte Wilde: “When my son and I first walked in, Dickens was a little shy and sat behind the breeder’s legs. My son picked him up and Dickens snuggled into him as if to say, ‘I’ll come with you!' And that was that.”
