I love Pushing Daisies’ Golden Retriever Digby

I love the Golden (named Orbit) who plays Digby on Pushing Daisies (Wednesdays at 8pm). The show is built around the fact that corpses spring to attention if Ned lays a finger on them. It’s an ability he discovered as a child, when his Golden, Digby, was killed by a truck, only to be instantly revived by his young master’s touch.

Of course, given how old Ned is now, that would make Digby quite, quite old in doggie years. But, this show is not based too much in reality so I guess that detail really doesn’t matter too much.

Here is Lee Pace (who plays Ned) with Digby during filming of a scene for the show

Orbit has been in show business for some time, originally appearing in the 1999 movie, The Love Letter and also as J.D. (Just Dog) in the Showtime series, Dead Like Me.

She reportedly fancies games of fetch and loves to have her stomach rubbed.

In the show Pushing Daisies, the character Olive’s love for Ned is not returned, and instead, the affection she receives comes from Digby.

If you missed the duet that Olive had with Digby, which was pure genius, check it out below.
