Gromit likes knitting, reading the newspaper, and cooking. His prized possessions include his alarm clock, bone, brush, and a framed photo of himself with Wallace. He is also very handy with electronic equipment (a grommet is a piece of electrical wiring insulation, a term Nick Park picked up from his brother, an electrician), and is sensitive, intelligent and resourceful. Gromit holds a genuine affection for his master and remains loyal to him, even at his own expense or when Wallace's contraptions inevitably blow up in his face.
Gromit doesn't express himself with spoken words, in fact he has no (visible) mouth, but his facial expressions and body language speak volumes. He does at times make dog-like noises, such as a yelp. Nick Park says: "We are a nation of dog-lovers and so many people have said: 'My dog looks at me just like Gromit does!.'" Gromit enjoys eating "KornFlakes" and reading many books, including:
* The Republic, by Pluto (a pun on Plato and a nod to the canine Disney character Pluto);
* Crime and Punishment, by Fido Dogstoyevsky (a pun on Fyodor Dostoevsky);
* Men Are from Mars, Dogs Are from Pluto (a pun on Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus);
* Electronics for Dogs
* Grated Expectations (a pun on Great Expectations by Charles Dickens)
* Sheep
He also listens to Bach (a word play, since Bach and Bark are pronounced similarly in England) and solves puzzles with ease.
Sometimes, Gromit refuses to take Wallace's orders such as in A Close Shave and Shopper 13 wherein Wallace orders him to get rid of Shaun, but Gromit refuses.
Gromit is needlefelted from wool roving. He is string jointed for gentle poseability and comes with his own handmade, handsigned, dated and numbered tag.
