Gromit

Gromit, also known as Chuck, Lad and Mate, is one of the titular main protagonists from the Wallace & Gromit series.
== Charactah Account ==
Gromit is Wallace's silent sidekick, best friend, and pet dog. Gromit is the brains of the duo, and often rolls his eyes at Wallace's mad antics and ideas, often having to save his master from many scrapes and calamities.
Gromit is a sensitive, intelligent, resourceful dog with a genuine affection for Wallace. Being the less eccentric one of the two, he's much more aware than his master and has a better judge of character. In most cases, Gromit does the actual work while Wallace panics or gets himself into more trouble.
Gromit is very loyal to Wallace and has a strong sense of justice. Not even at gunpoint did he waver in saving his master and upholding the law, as seen in The Wrong Trousers. However, there have been times when Gromit himself has been wrongly accused of crimes, when accused and punished for biting Piella Bakewell. Despite his faithfulness, he does occasionally ignore or simply refuse to do what Wallace says.

== Trivia ==
* Gromit may resemble Snoopy from "Classic Peanuts".
* Gromit is recognized by most kennel clubs as a beagle.
* Gromit's age is unknown, but he's implied to be a young adult dog, somewhere around 20 human years, and 4-5 dog years.
* Gromit was originally meant to be a cat, but Nick Park changed him into a dog because it proved easier to model.
* Peter Hawkins was originally going to voice Gromit whether he was a cat or a dog, but the idea of Gromit speaking was dropped when it became clear how expressive he could be just through small movements of the eyes, ears, and brows, so the voice was never used, and also for being realistic, because cats and dogs can't talk. However, several times in interviews, Nick Park has mentioned having an unreleased recording of Peter Hawkins doing Gromit's "voice" for A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave, and how only Nick Park himself has heard the recording to this very day.
* Gromit's eyes aren't black but are in fact a very dark blue, seen for a brief time in A Grand Day Out.
* In A Matter of Loaf and Death, it is revealed that Gromit is left-handed (seen when he writes up in the book of surveillance for dogs during his plan to thwart Piella).
* In 2005 Aardman's storage facility set fire, destroying Gromit's puppets from the original 3 Wallace And Gromit shorts, except a very few are known to survive to this day.
* The screen used bike and sidecar with both Wallace and Gromit themselves, present with thier original attire and helmets they wore while riding the bike on screen, are currently on display at the main entrance of Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
* A head of Gromit from "A Close Shave" with a helmet is currently in the hands of a Aardman crew member and was first given to him in 1995.
* Gromit in the plane was displayed at Aardman features sometime between 2005 and 2007, if it was in 2005, its unknown if it was envolved in the warehouse fire or not.
