Booth who recently partnered with Movember, stopped by Us Weekly to share everything we need to know about his four-legged friend. The former Bachelorette contestant, 30, adopted Tucker as a puppy while he was in college in Keene, New Hampshire. Since then, he’s lived in Windsor Locks, Connecticut; Howell, Michigan; Madison, Wisconsin; Nashville, Tennessee and now New York City!

The well-traveled pup loves his dad, but it took a while for him to adjust to Bristowe after she gave Booth the final rose. “Tucker was a little jealous of her. He was kind of like ‘Who’s this lady?’ It’s even funny now to this day, if I hug Kaitlyn or if I go and touch Kaitlyn, he jumps up from wherever he is and he gets right in the middle to try and break it up!” But don’t worry, Tucker now shares a bed with the engaged couple.

Tucker will be celebrating his 10th birthday soon, and this year, the personal trainer is keeping things healthy for his pooch. “Usually I give him a Big Mac from McDonald’s but now that he’s getting a little bit older and little bit overweight, I might refrain from that, but we’ll still have a birthday celebration for him.”

Welcome to the jungle, bitches. #TheBoothstowes
