Upon their return, the Starks find a dead stag, sigil of House Baratheon. A bit farther they find a dead direwolf and her surviving pups. The direwolf has part of the stag’s rack in her side. Noting that the direwolf is the sigil of the Stark family and there are as many pups as the Stark children (even an albino runt for Jon), they take the pups in as companions.

This foreshadowing is so scary. When Robert came to Winterfell, everyone he touched has died. The stag kills the direwolf which means when Robert (the stag) came north, he killed the Starks (the direwolf). It´s an awesome foreshadowing. They also said that direwolf´s doesn´t come this far south (of the wall). When the direwolf came south, it died. When the Starks came south they died.
I squeed a little over how Jon pronounces "pups" <3
robbs face when jon finds the wolf and theon makes his comments says it all, robb knows jon is his brother
1) The symbolism of a stag killing a direwolf 2) Robb and Jon's silent brotherly conversation
I'm just glad that such adorable pups were allowed to live.
Runt of the litter but a better fighter than all of them
Extra foreshadowing – Theon, a Greyjoy, poised to kill a Stark wolf, only to be slapped down. Extra-extra foreshadowing – he nearly, but didn't, kill BRAN'S direwolf.
This is like, five or sixshadowing right there.
Ghost is a white wolf, like the hair of targaryens. Jon is a targaryen. Jon was meant to have a white wolf. Bam.😂😂
I wonder how the direwolf got south of the wall to begin with.
aww! I wish they could have shown a scene with the look on Sansa, Rickon and Arya's faces when they come home with a special surprise!
See how ned stark obeys to the rightful heir to the iron throne
Who knew then Jon snow would have aunts in his pants
The Starks holding their dire wolf puppies is my aesthetic
1. Direwolf (Ned Stark) goes south (King's Landing) and gets killed by a Stag (Joffrey Baratheon) leaving behind six pups
2. Suspecting a mountain lion (Tyrion Lannister) to be the cause of death of the Stag (Joffrey Baratheon)
2. Jon Snow adopts a white-haired direwolf (Targaryen trait)
3. Ned Stark following Jon Snow's (true heir to the Iron Throne) proposition
4. Theon Greyjoy wanting to kill the direwolves (his eventual betrayal against the Starks)
Ghost is probably going to be the last survivor of the litter
Robb was such a sweetheart! Always doing his best to make Jon feel loved as an equal!
This scene brings tears to my eyes… I am still so sorry that he's gone 🙁
"there are five POPS"
Oh, the foreshadowing.
Poor Ghost. Jon man-handled him.
fucking theon was ready to kill the little puppies at the drop of a hat. Dude's always been a punk. He didn't deserve all the torture from Ramsay, but he definitely deserved to be punished for all that he did.
Where is little dragon
"I'm not a stark" you know nothing lol
Never noticed how happy Robb looked when Jon found ghost
WHERE CAN I GET CUTE PUPPIES LIKE THESE? AHHHHH 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I kinda wish Ned got his own direwolf. I imagine the father of the wolves still nearby, and somehow bonding with Ned. Would've been cool.
