It all started with Bouncer of course, but the pets on Neighbours have become a beloved component of the show with cast, crew and fans.
This morning, ‘Audrey’ the Kennedy’s pet pooch, was put to sleep after a short battle with cancer.
‘Audrey’ joined the show in 2001 at just eight weeks old, which is quite a long stint for TV animals. She was even on set as recently as yesterday.
“When she first joined she was so well trained that she would only come to us when it was part of the scene,” said actress Jackie Woodburne. “However, it wasn’t long before she considered the set her home and us her family that she wouldn’t hesitate to come over for a pat or cuddle but she was always the professional.
“And she was a scene stealer and could proudly claim to be the only natural blonde on the show, we’ll really miss her.”
Co-star Alan Fletcher added, “It was just lovely to have Audrey around, she really did brighten up the set and she made the Kennedys a complete family, she’ll be sadly missed by everyone.”
‘Audrey’s’ real life owner, Christine Powell from Animal Actors, said “’Audrey’ loved being on the show and I’d to like to take this opportunity to remind pet owners not to hesitate to have their pets checked if you suspect something isn’t quite right.”
‘Audrey’ will be on screen until the end of the year.

So sad.
Oh wow. I guess her real name was Audrey too? So sad! 🙁 I wonder how they will explain her not being seen anymore.
I look forward to the role of the dog being filled by Ashton Kutcher.
How sad 🙁
This actually raises something i’ve never realized before: No character on Home & Away owns a pet!
R.I.P Audrey .
That’s Sad I loved Audrey the Dog along with Bob out of the non human characters on Neighbours.
