Chester is C.C. Babcock's dog on The Nanny, who liked Fran Fine a lot better than he did C.C. He was given to C.C. by Maxwell who thought she should have a companion in more than a dozen episodes. He once almost ate Shari Lewis' puppet Lamp Chop, while Fran and Val were going through her belongings.

Chester is a Pomeranian dog belonging to Chastity Claire Babcock played by Fran Drescher's own Pomeranian. Chester was bought for C.C. by Maxwell Sheffield because he was convinced that she was lonely. However, C.C. believed that Maxwell was going to propose to her, but Niles brings in a dog, who took to an immediate disliking to C.C. but fell in love with Fran. Chester was a birthday present for C.C from Maxwell.

A running gag in the show was the C.C. was constantly leaving Chester unattended (i.e. in a taxi, or in a duffel bag in her closet). Another one is Chester snarling every time C.C. picks him up, indicating how much he dislikes her.

Another running gag is that Chester loathes C.C. almost as much as Niles does, but loves Fran very much.

In the episode Lamb Chop's on the Menu, Chester stays with the Sheffield's at Fran's suggestion because C.C. needed to get her apartment fumigated. At first, she was trying to find a kennel, but Fran suggested that Chester stay with them. During that time, however, Chester got ahold of Lamb Chop and, at first, it looked like Chester had eaten her. Later, it is revealed that he didn't eat her, but that he dumped her down the laundry chute. She is discovered on a towel at the end of the episode when Niles is folding the laundry.

Chester also stays with the Sheffield's after C.C. goes to rehab. His cousin is Omi the Pomeranian.
