Game of Thrones continues next Sunday @9pm on HBO.
Made popular by house Stark, direwolves are beasts that are twice the size of regular wolves, fiercely loyal to their owners and highly intelligent.
Actor and star of the mega-popular HBO fantasy/drama Game of Thrones Peter Dinklage is urging fans to stop buying huskies just for the sake of their likeness to the series’ direwolves.
This is not the first time the media has encouraged people to buy dogs and pets inspired by their favorite series and movies.
