Gavin's famous dog, a Hungarian sheep dog called Winston, was acquired under tense circumstances. "I looked after him one Christmas and I fell in love with him. His owners were friends of mine and they were abusing him, the guy would come home and kick him. After Christmas I was like, 'Fuck you, I'm keeping him.' I was willing to lose the friendship. He's like my child." Gavin has gone so far as insuring Winston up to £3 million." Winston can be heard barking before Personal Holloway and seen in the videos for Personal Holloway and Bonedriven.
