Sophie Cunningham Stunned Fans with Surprise Plus One Before Fever-Sun originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Indiana Fever lost their second game without Caitlin Clark to the Connecticut Sun, 85–83. But even before the game started, Sophie Cunningham made a statement by bringing an unexpected friend along with her to the match.
She has developed quite an appetite for making headlining entries with her fashion, and Friday was no exception. Cunningham arrived wearing a black overcoat over a black dress paired with black sunglasses.
But what caught more attention was Cunningham's plus one, Stella. She is a black shepherd mix up for adoption at IndyHumane. Cunningham brought her along to spread awareness about adopting dogs.
The internet melted with the cuteness the duo brought. Fans swarmed to post cheerful comments about Stella.
"This makes me like Sophie even more! Shes advocating for doggos during the pregame runway!?!" A fan exclaimed.
"I think @sophaller needs to adopt Stella" Another chimed in.

"Awwww @sophaller this just made me like you even more! Heal quickly!" One commented, sending positivity towards the star after she suffered a right ankle injury with six minutes left in the fourth quarter.
"STELLA! We need The DOGS out tonight!" Another joked.
"What an awesome way to get her some exposure!!" A fan pointed out.
"Omg I love Sophie😂 She’s so much fun" Another said.
Cunningham came off the bench to add 10 points to the total, contributing two assists and one rebound in the 27 minutes she played.
She re-injured the same ankle she had hurt during the pregame matchup with the Atlanta Dream.
Sun finally found their first win of the season after losing five straight games in the regular season. They will face the New York Liberty next on June 1.
