Binka and Nugget
Daniel Radcliffe previously had two pet dogs named Binka and Nugget that were both border terriers. Radcliffe had them when he was a teen filming the Harry Potter series. There was a tabloid rumor going around about Binka and Nugget in 2008 that Radcliffe had hired two former SAS military guards to protect them from his stalker. Radcliffe later told the New York Times that having a stalker and hiring military guards for his dogs were both untrue.
On a Reddit AMA when asked if he was a dog or cat person, he replied “Dog. Very, very firmly in the dog camp here.”.
Rescue Dog
Daniel Radcliffe currently has one rescue dog he adopted with his long-time partner Erin Darke. Radcliffe and Darke are very private and haven’t posted anything public about their dog or its name. The couple is often seen walking their dog around their hometown of New York City.
Radcliffe once told a story on The Graham Norton Show of how he and a dog he was fostering were mistaken for being homeless: “I was on the street with this dog and my girlfriend was in the shop and so, I was very cold. I got my hoodie, and my fleece, and my fleece hoodie and then a big coat over that, and the dog was really cold. So I’ll just kneel by you and like stroke you and try and keep you warm. And then I saw this guy like look up at me like 10 yards away and smiled. I was like “yeah” and just carried on. And then he walked past me and he came back, about five steps passed me, then just reappeared with a $5 bill over my shoulder and just went “Get yourself a coffee, mate”.”

How many dogs does Daniel Radcliffe have?
Daniel Radcliffe only has one dog, but many people wonder how many dogs he has due to a viral photo of him walking a dozen dogs near NYC’s Bryant Park while smoking a cigarette. The photo’s a far cry from the fresh-faced Harry Potter he played as a child. It’s got Macauley-Culkin-in-a-pizza-death-metal-band vibes and is truly hilarious. The gossip mill immediately went crazy once the photo was up, hypothesizing why the boy wizard had a horde of hounds attached to his belt.
The real answer is due to Daniel Radcliffe’s cameo in Judd Apatow’s film Trainwreck starring Amy Schumer. Radcliffe plays a bit character — a dog walker, obviously — and, in our humble opinion, steals the show.
