The global community of fans is grieving the untimely passing of Matthew Perry, who, at 54 years old, left an indelible mark on television through his iconic portrayal of Chandler Bing on the beloved sitcom Friends. Perry shared a special bond with his cast members, making his departure even more poignant.

News has emerged that one of Perry’s Friends co-stars is contemplating adopting his cherished dog, Alfred, in the wake of the actor’s demise.

The loss of Matthew Perry is particularly heart-wrenching, considering he left behind his canine companion, Alfred. Perry introduced Alfred to fans in January 2021 through an endearing Instagram post that instantly captured hearts. The actor humorously wrote, “Who’s cuter? Don’t even dare to answer that.”

It’s inevitable that Alfred will deeply miss his owner, as dogs often exhibit signs of understanding and mourning when their owners pass away.

While the caretaker of Alfred following Perry’s passing remains unclear, one of his Friends co-stars, Lisa Kudrow, who portrayed Phoebe on the sitcom, has expressed interest in providing a loving home for the pup. According to a source, Kudrow is considering adopting Alfred once all funeral proceedings have concluded, and she, along with other cast members, plans to attend Matthew Perry’s services together.

Kudrow, reportedly “perplexed” by Perry’s passing, shared her concern for the actor’s struggles with alcohol and opioid addiction, emphasizing his determination to keep fighting and living.

Perry’s lifeless body was discovered in his tub, with no illegal drugs found at the scene but prescription antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications present. While an official cause of death is yet to be announced, speculation among co-stars suggests these substances may have played a role.

The Friends cast, known for their strong bond on and off screen, provided support to Perry during his battles with substance abuse. Kudrow, in particular, expressed her care and commitment to Perry, stating, “I care deeply for Matthew. We’re like family. I’m essentially concluding this by saying ‘I’ll be there for you.’ It’s sincere. I will always be there for him.”

While it remains unconfirmed whether Kudrow will take in Alfred, the possibility stands as a poignant final gesture toward her Friends co-star, ensuring the well-being of his beloved dog. ❤️
