Carrie Fisher's dog reportedly recognized her while watching The Last Jedi

Carrie Fisher loved her dog Gary. And he knew. In fact, he still feels her presence.

Gary will have had the chance to see himself onscreen as well. As previously reported, an alien creature inspired by Gary appears in the film as well in honor of Carrie and her beloved pet.

Fisher died nearly a year ago on Dec. 27 and Gary is now in the care of Fisher’s daughter Billie Lourd. May the Force be with you, Gary.
