Reprising his iconic role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: Picard, Sir Patrick Stewart insisted that his dog in the new series be a pit bull terrier.
Having fostered dogs over the past four years, Stewart is an advocate for the pit bull terrier breed, who in England are banned under "breed-specific legislation" of the Dangerous Dog Act 1991.
Sir Patrick expresses his passions against this legislation, and tells Late Show host Stephen Colbert that these dogs are "the sweetest, most empathic, most sensitive creatures, that I have ever known."
