Hugo was a male Neapolitan Mastiff who played Rubeus Hagrid's dog, Fang, in the film adaptations of Philosopher's Stone,[1] Chamber of Secrets,[1] and Prisoner of Azkaban. He was followed in this role by Monkey, in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and Uno, in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
The one thing that Hugo's trainer, Gary Gero, couldn't teach him was not to drool.[1] In 2003, Hugo appeared on the British television show This Morning, and unintentionally spat into the mouth of presenter Fern Britton.[2]
