18 Celebrities Whose Pets Have Become Almost As Famous As They Are
Lots of celebrities have friends who have become famous because of their association with stars (looking at you, Kim Kardashian) but it's not just human beings whom become household names because of their attachment to a celebrity.

Sansa Stark’s direwolf may have been executed, but offscreen the actress adopted the Mahlek Northern Inuit Dog who played her. Who knew Game of Thrones could produce such a happy ending?
