Chalky

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chalky was TV chef Rick Stein's rough-haired Jack Russell Terrier dog, who regularly accompanied Stein when filming his popular cookery shows and became recognised and popular in his own right. Chalky had his own line of merchandise, including plushes, teatowels, art prints, art paw prints and even his own real ale - Chalky's Bite.

Chalky was born in August 1989 and died on 13 January 2007. His popularity was such that Conservative Member of Parliament Andrew Pelling tabled a motion in the House of Commons lamenting his death.
