Rumpole had been beloved member of the Ramsay family for years.
TV chef Gordon and his wife Tana adopted the British Bulldog from their good pals the Beckhams, according to MailOnline.
The dog was known for his randy antics, as he reportedly once gave Spice Girl Victoria Beckham more attention than she asked for.

According to The Mirror, the Ramsays were welcoming guests for a Christmas party when Victoria turned and Rump proceeded to hump her leg.
Fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton got similar treatment, according to a source who told the publication: “Rumpole and the cat Theodora were real stars. Rumpole took a shine to Victoria and Emma which ensured Gordon made full use of his vocabulary of expletives.”
