In other instances — we’re looking at you, Bradley Cooper — stars bring their pets along to join them in front of the camera. Sophie Turner is among the many celebs who fell in love with their canine costars. After direwolf Lady’s untimely death on Game of Thrones , the Mahlek Northern Inuit dog named Zunni was left unemployed and homeless. However, Turner had bonded with her so much on set that she jumped at the opportunity to adopt her. “Growing up I always wanted a dog, but my parents never wanted one,” she revealed to Coventry Telegraph in 2013. “We kind of fell in love with my character’s direwolf, Lady, on set. … We knew Lady died and they wanted to rehome her.

While speaking with TIME in April 2019, the Grammy winner admitted that the “most influential factor” in her life is her cuddly kittens. “I have cats. I’m obsessed with them,” she said at the time. “They’re just a real joy to live with.
