Game of Thrones fans are upset with Jon Snow (Kit Harington) for failing to conduct a proper goodbye with Ghost, the direwolf he adopted as a pup.

With the threat of the Night King (Vladimir Furdik) vanquished, the Wildings are free to return North, led by Tormund (Kristofer Hivju), who is entrusted with caring for Ghost as the loyal creature belongs north of the wall.
But fans are taking issue with Snow’s snubbing Ghost, who was left looking dejected as his master departed.
THAT WAS NOT THE FAREWELL GHOST DESERVED. HE IS THE BESTEST BOI!!! #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/23JxvPqZu0

Viewers were earlier relieved to see Ghost had survived the Battle of Winterfell when he was spotted as part of the funeral scene mourning the casualties of last episode’s epic battle. The slight now has some Game of Thrones fans almost wishing Snow was among them:

me: Jon Snow must sit on The Iron Throne because heโs the most thoughtful and caring person in the Seven Kingdoms

[Jon doesnโt pet Ghost when he gives him away]
me: Jon is no better than Cersei
I will never forgive Jon for not even booping Ghosts nose before he left.
