Shumba

 Where ever you see Josh, Shumba is probably near by... at a hotel, on the set, Josh takes Shumba practically everywhere with him. For the first season of Dawson's Creek (1998) Shumba was always somewhere with one or two of the cast members (see pictures below) Now in the year of 2003, Shumba is still found prancing on the sets of Josh's Movies, most recently, Lone Star State Of Mind. Oh yeah, by the way: Shumba means "Lion" in Swahili. 

Below are a few magazine artcles that Josh has been in with Shumba:

*U.S. magazine*

Shumba was an intro to an article in Premiere magazine for the movie Lone Star State of Mind:

It’s hard to tell who’s been generating the most excitement on the set of Lone Star State of Mind: Is it John Mellencamp, who spent a week there shooting a cameo, or Shumba, star Joshua Jackson’s dog? Right now, it’s Shumba, and Jackson excuses himself to nab the pooch before he attacks the lunch tent. “That’s his one bad habit. He’s a terrible mooch,” Jackson says. “But he comes with me everywhere.” Having his black mixed-breed on set has been quite a creature comfort for the actor, who is enduring a pretty hectic schedule these days.
