Cheese is not a nice guy, and hes certainly not always nice to his four-legged companion.
The show added a brand new character, Martin wrote.
Especially not when the source material is mine.
But that dog was brilliant.
I was prepared to hate Cheese, but I hated him even more when he kicked that dog.
Human beings are such complex creatures.
Martin also added: I wish Id thought of that dog.
I didnt, but someone else did.
I am glad of that.
