As those who have followed Clare Crawley’s journey within the Bachelor and Bachelorette franchise know, she is a certified dog lover. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Clare was placed in a unique situation where she got to take her two beloved dogs with her to film.
“Perks of filming in one location! These two babies never left my side through all of the days in isolation when I was alone prior to filming,” Clare Crawley boasted at the time. As fans recall, her golden retriever Honey was also in the clip and was just as thrilled to be along for the ride.
