I still like my idea of the open eyes being a literary allusion to seeing or truth -as in the truth of Jon's parentage or the truth of his destiny. Flip back a page or two in this thread for more really good opinions on the pups.

I agree. Much like the three eyed crow telling bran to open his eye.

This is what I meant by more significant. There is something about Ghost, or Ghost And Jon together, tthat their destinies are beyond that of the others.

Definitely a lot of symbolism here.

As do I.

I also found it interesting that Jon was the only one to actually hear Ghost. Neither Ned or Bran could hear the pup and Jon seemingly heard him out of nowhere.
