When Sophie Turner fell for her on Northern Inuit Hound, Zunni, aka Lady from ‘Game of Thrones’

There have been several examples where reel love stories transitioned into a real-life bond. One such story was seen on the sets of ‘Game of Thrones,’ when Sophie Turner met the Northern Inuit Hound, Zunni. We don’t know whether it was love at first sight or not, but their on-set bond grew so beautiful that after Zunni’s character was written off in the series, Sophie Turner decided to adopt her.

Zunni is a beautiful Northern Inuit Hound who played the character Lady in the series ‘Game of Thrones.’ In the series, she was the pet of Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner’s character), a queen on the show. Zunni’s part ended on the show when her character Lady was killed off due to the machinations of Cersei Lannister. And that is when, from the sets of ‘GOT’, she was rehomed to the house of Turner.

Sophie, who made her acting debut on the sets of GOT at the age of just 14, was a dog lover all her life. While speaking to Coventry Telegraph in 2013, Sophie shared, "Growing up, I always wanted a dog, but my parents never wanted one. We kind of fell in love with my character's direwolf, Lady, on set. We knew Lady died, and they wanted to re-home [Zunni]. My mum persuaded them to let us adopt her."

Sophie's decision brought joy to many people; however, for different reasons. While interacting with Harper’s Bazaar in 2019, Turner shared, "Zunni was a terrible actor, really bad on set, she wouldn't respond to any of my calls, and everyone was ready to fire her."
