The dogs are adorable, and I certainly love Game of Thrones. But it’s a little bit crazy that we live in a world where someone who bought a couple of cute puppies that ended up being used in a couple episodes of a TV show can live off of showing the dogs off years later. This guy hit the lottery when he bought those sweet pups.
well they are celebrity dogs :)))) lol
"He's a lucky dog"
Sophie Turner fell in love with the dog that portrayed Sansa's Direwolf: Lady so much that after Lady was killed off (sniff), Sophie adopted the dog :)
@@DragonHeart613 and my dog who is a Northern Inuit is Lady’s great granddaughter! 😊
Word! My Great Pyrenees is cuter and could whoop em both at the same time. He's not insured for a million but they had better be lol. FYI this is primarily satire
Give us back Ghost already HBO, he had better survive the final season!!!!!!!
You just know he's gonna come back with nymeria and lead the maddest superpack of wolves ever
@@sharaiz3 I hink Nymeria will definetely lead it if it happens. She formed the group, led the pack for probably several years, and has a much more fierce/active/dominant behavior than Ghost who looks a lot more calm and distant.
@@adrien4269 They'll both take alpha male and alpha female roles
Ghost is in Episode 2 for like 5 seconds
@@vdknights Seriously??? During which scene???
I actually met Thor. Really down to earth considering all the fame and when I asked for an autograph instead of a selfie all I got was a woof.
A good doggo woof is better than any autographs
I got a howl. They were fun and floofy
@@hairglowingkyle4572 hahaha
@@hairglowingkyle4572 Ugly.
Elina
Hahaha
Those dogs are so adorable!
Michael Lovely I agree.
Ahh, direwolves! They're like wolves, but they're dire
lol
Direly cute! 💟
You flow like a wolf, dire
My flow like a dragon, fire

Do NOT buy dogs, any dogs, just because they look cute or because you're a GoT fan! this breed is far from low maintenance and you need considerable time to dedicate to keep them. don't buy dogs on a whim!
sylversyl yup! They're adorable but unless you are able to take care of them, do not get one!
sylversyl I’m content with being a dog sitter and walker.
well said too many people are so compulsive when it comes to dogs thats why so many are in shelters who havent been given a chance to learn and socialize
I remember watching in a documentary how people were buying or getting huskies for this exact reason. And then they return and abandon the puppied because they are too high energy. People need to properly research what breed they can get for their lifestyle..
Yea, most people realize this later!
Actually got to meet the dogs last year on a GoT trip to Northern Ireland. Also got shown Winterfell, some scenes along the trident, and the abbey where Robb is crowned king.
Cool where you from curious because I'm from Northern Ireland
@Craig IownAgucciHat step 1: fly to Dublin
Step 2: go here (www.gameofthronestours.com/dublin-winterfell-locations-trek/) and pay €65 (about $73)
Step 3: profit
@@katiegibson7300 I'm from the US (Ohio / Pennsylvania). We were in England and Ireland for vacation twice over the last few years. Might plan to go back soon. Which part are you from?
@James Harrison yeah I did. According to the website the tour is €65 about $73. So that plus your flight and a little extra (I can't give you a good flight est because I have a family discount that made my tickets practically nothing, but Google will help) www.gameofthronestours.com/dublin-winterfell-locations-trek/
Sounds lovely 😊 You must have had an awesome time!
It'd be great to have just put a small disclaimer in to not run out and buy Huskies, Malamutes, Inuits, Eskimo dogs etc since Huskies especially right now with GoT names are being abandoned at a ridiculous rate because people don't realize how much work these breeds are, and just get one, cuz, you know..."I want one." No. I saw a story recently that a shelter took in 3 Huskies named after "Thrones" names in the last month alone. People, stop being selfish, irresponsible, immediate gratification nimrods. These dogs are high maintenance. They need a ton of work. You wanting one is not a reason to GET one. I'm waiting for the day when people put the needs of the animal above their own wants.
@@Witch's Brew Sims, I have seen that campaign. I was referring specifically to the TODAY show, which reaches a much broader and more accessible audience than PETA (a good percentage of people in this country want to burn PETA to the ground). I wasn't talking about the actors, I was talking about the daily morning show that millions of people watch every single day. Thanks, though.
The dogs shown in spa look so freaking happy. I'm happy for them.
I’m just happy to see them alive and well.
The wolves aren't "computer-generated" now. They're real wolves filmed in Canada and then composited into the show by the special effects team.
I was about to type the same thing.
zammmerjammer special effects/ computer blah blah give the script righter a break
Oh writer
I met them. They were brilliant to see.
These are very beautiful dogs and I applaud anyone who has the time and energy and experience to handle such breeds of dogs
Those dogs are beautiful..I'm not a GoT fan,I've never watched the show,but I ❤ the dogs..I had heard that someone was trying to bring back actual dire wolves(through cloning I think)..these dogs are the kind of dog I would ❤ to be the guardian of if I ever have the space and money to give them a good life..that man seems like a awesome person and I'm glad those beautiful puppies have a good forever home ☺
Sunshine MishasMommy I’m not a fan of the show either. Love the dogs.
Do yourself a favor and watch the show
Literally NOBODY thinks these dogs are bad, they are MIGHTY GOOD BOIS
GORGEOUS!!!
This dogs literally live a better life than some people.
so fluffy, me wants them as a living pillows
me wants you as living pillow
What a lucky guy. He lucky to own such beautiful dogs 🐕
Gorgeous!!!! Great story! Love GOT❣️
So beautiful
Amazing animals.
allison chang Yes, cute
@@NellieKAdaba Yes they are Nellie. Lucky and blessed guy.
Such a lovely dogs.
Rip lady
They were obviously used earlier on while the direwolves were growing. In the books they grow to be the size of a smaller horse so they were then taking wolves and enhancing them through computer rendering. I think they should be looking even a bit larger in the show.
Such cute dogs.
Those doggie BROUGHT him a lot of luck and 💰
It's could be MUCH nostalgic of this last season of GOT if we can see the reunite of Summer and Bran in REAL LIFE.It would awesome....
my whole life was a lie
the wolves were just some dogs
the dragon were just some cosplaying lizards
i don't even know what to believe now
all of cinema is basically a lie tho
You can totally recognize Summers face.
Such good boys
She committed to that dothraki line lmao
DIRE THE DIRE WOLF 🐺
@1:34 was like a michael scott moment lmfao
Oh my GOT, I want one!
lindos los perros!!...
good pupper
Wow that Dothraki was awful 😂
Elisa Shade good think for her it's just a fictional language which isn't used in real life anyway...
jackforpresident22 it is a real fully functional language. People learn and speak it to each other. Obviously as a hobby rather than real world communication but it has rules, structure, vocabulary and grammar. And it also has a right and wrong way to say it. And her accent was terrible 😂
Elisa Shade relax, it's a fictional language which was made up by one guy. No need to get your panties in a twist just because a reporter who's job isn't to properly enunciate words from a fictional language which fanboys/fangirls use for fun didn't do so.
@@jackforpresident22 out of all the things to criticize someone fo, speaking a bad fictional language.
Thomas Thas exactly. This chick has issues.
Dire doggos
Cried coz of 'em...
They are so fluffy am gonna dieeeeeeee....
My cat needs to step up! 🤔😆
And I thought my dog was spoiled.
Too bad we never see them in the show🤦🏻♂️
Puppy!!!
Big up to the interviewer
Once in a lifetime experience lang eh no ate
Just great well here in a America huskys and malamutes are being thrown into shelters. I have a huskys who took me three years too get him on a straight and narrow. Please I beg of people do your research.
Imagine asking for baby dragons for danerys targaryan
I understand that it’s not good to buy from breeders, and I do myself have a rescue dog and a bred dog. But, what about all those other dogs, that are bred and aren’t adopted because it’s bad. What will happen to them? What will the breeders do? Most likely either put them down, mistreat them so they end up as rescues or on a rare occasion take care of them. I understand that buying dogs when there’s many others in the rescue is unfair, and I think it’s upsetting that people can’t grow balls and take care of the dogs like they were supposed to. But also, with little kids not many rescue dogs are gonna be used to kids pulling and poking and being a bit rough, since most probably do have PTSD. If you have young kids, it’s sometimes better looking for suitable dogs. Like I have a Labrador because they are great with kids. I always feel bred dogs are looked down apon just because they were bred. It’s like you guys are saying they don’t deserve a home. But, I do agree you should also buy/adopt rescue dogs/pets. Just think of the circumstances on why some people have brought dogs from breeders. Don’t just come at them, and make them feel bad about buying a dog, and giving a dog a feet home. (This is in general). I love both my rescue and bred dog, they get along great. But my rescue dog, is a bit iffy when it comes to kids. He will growl at bark at them, luckily not biting. But my Labrador is great with kids, and isn’t as aggressive. They are both lovely dogs.
I like my German Shepherds she is the best anyone who wants a dog get a german shepherd
God I wish I had one of those
No you don't, unless you like being covered in hair. And they blow their coats at least twice a year which is a nightmare.
I had a Husky for 10 years and it was rough, and my dog was not even close to the amount of fur these beautiful dogs have.
@@Lowgarr lol thanks the only reason I wanted one is because they look cute
THE 2ND GIRL WHO SAID IT'S A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE IS TOO FILIPINO WITH HER ENGLISH
Ghost was my favorite
They are actually odins wolves in doggo form
Wow that was an amazing investment!
When dogs have better life insurance than you
How you know they are the same puppies as shown in S1 🤔🤔?
those have got to be the most spoiled huskies in the world haha weekly "spa" days
I want one
Nobody remind of Ramsey Bolton Bulldogs
Heard Sophie adopted Lady from the show
These dogs are worth more than my life XD
😍😍😍
So jealous 😭😭
Where is Ghost?
once in a lifetime experience?
What direwolves
You mean the ones we haven’t seen for 2 seasons
Really frustrating to know that Ghost will only come back just to die 5min later... (Not a spoiler but that seems obvious to me)
Dire Wolves were real animals at one time, but went extinct around 10,000 years ago.
Luckiest guy in the world.
Are they alaskan Malamutes?
The Red Wedding.
What is the raise?
I have a question: If the “direwolves” are actually dogs then why don’t they appear on the show that much? I always hear people say it’s because they have to spend CGI money on Danny’s dragons but if the dogs aren’t CGI why is the budget a problem?
Man,,, talk about luck. U can't make this stuff up haha
Are they wolves or malamutes?
They look more like huskies then anything
They look more like malamutes than anything
REAL LIFE CANIS DIRUS!!!!!!!!!
Look like wolves is better then trying to have wolves.
I would do anything for them
As if this is strangeford 😱
You can be SURE that almost half those people willing to go visit those dogs are gonna buy dogs of the same breed just because they want a direwolf, and you can be sure than over half of those people will end up not taking proper care of those dogs, and shelters will get more crowded than they already are. If anyone wants to get a dog and reads this comment, be smart, think about the right thing to do. Get a dog from a shelter, stop buying dogs on a whim.
This show has direwolves? I've never seen them
Game of Thrones was brutal for everyone
When his dogs dies his career also dies what a pity.
Sophie Turner (Sansa) adopted Lady (Zunni). Sadly these dogs don't live too long.
did zunni die?
@@imalijay4361 Yup. Of old age.
Mary Hill that hurts
@@thomasmees3953 I know. I've had 2 dogs die of old age.
@Jeremy G. Rainthong Thank you, and you are right. They did have good lives...
Talk about someone milking the system
Why did she frown and scrunch up her face when she spoke “Dothraki”
Speaking the language doesn’t make someone a savage
Why didn't they use actual wolfdogs?
I thought one of them was adopted by Sophie Turner
they had 5 so this guy only owns 2 of them sophie owns one n the other 2 probably private owners
She did,sadly the dog passed away in 2017,it had a severe case of arthritis and various other health problems.
Insured for a million dollars. I'd pay more than that for one more day with my pup. Get the most outta the days you have with them.
Dawg
Those arent wolves those are dogs
Is lady still alive?
Zunni (Lady) was adopted by Sophie Turner (Sansa). The dog is still alive for all I know.
husky
As a husky owner myself, DO NOT, please, do not buy one of these dogs or a breed correlated to them just because you like the show! They are incredibly difficult, energetic, and large.
WHERE THE FUCJ IS GHOST HBO???
Jon snow is actually a white walker......HAVE A GOOD SUNDAY NIGHT
Es Jesus!
The Wolves are CGI now? WHAT? sure.... next thing you're going to tell me is the Dragon's are CGI too......uh huh.....
It's just normal dogs. The only CGI is the huge size of Nymeria in the last season
