An extraordinary actor
Seven also received praise from David Boyd, who directed Season 10, episode 18, which tells the dog’s origin story and Daryl’s first encounter with the zombie-fighting animal as a puppy, apparently a stray (played by a young dog actor named Carl).

It will take 19 hours to get just one item from this dog.’ And no. taking Boom! We say, “Okay.” We look at each other and say, “Well, do we need another take?”“

So he’s really comfortable on set and he’s been easy to work with, he’s very loving and his coaches are amazing.
