Thomas's dog.
Tom's Dog is a dog named Nermal[1] created by Thomas Ridgewell. It was first an image created for Jennifer Bingham (Tom's former girlfriend), and it later became a website and appeared on the asdfmovie5 trailer.
Tomsdog.com[]
Tomsdog.com is a website Thomas Ridgewell made when he was "feeling sad" (due to Edd Gould's recent funeral) because "when [he gets] sad [he makes] websites".[2] The content of the website is a picture of his dog with the song Tom's Dog (asdfmovie5 theme) by The Living Tombstone[3] playing in the background.
The website currently doesn't work, and the domain has expired.
Tomsdog.tk[]
A website made by Greenscreener. After feeling sad about tomsdog.com being shutdown, he made this page, so the world can still enjoy it. It contains the original assets from the original page. It is written with newer web technology, so it works on mobile too.

Tom said he would work the dog into asdfmovie5 if the hashtag "#tomsdogdotcom" would become a worldwide trending topic on Twitter;[4][5] while it didn't manage this, it did manage to become a trending topic in the UK.[6]
The dog later appeared in the asdfmovie5 trailer that was uploaded to YouTube on 3rd May 2012.[7]

Trivia[]
- Even though Tom's Dog was in the trailer, it didn't actually appear in asdfmovie5.
- Nevertheless, his theme played at the end of the movie.
- Tom's Dog has a fan page on Facebook.[8]
- Tom's Dog is a re-written song of the scrapped TomSka Song. The reason for this is due to Edd's passing and Tom requested Yoav Landau, AKA TheLivingTombstone, to rewrite the song to make it more upbeat so that Tom could get over his depression. Unfortunately, multiple people started making dark meme videos using Tom's Dog as an audio base. Tom and TheLivingTombstone planned to make a reboot of the TomSka Song but no news of it has been announced yet.[9]
- Someone by the YouTube username, SteamPunch, made an unofficial finished version of "The TomSka Song" in their channel. You should definately check it out.[10]
