Not the father she wanted, but the father she needed to survive in that world.

sandor loves arya as much as he is capable of loving someone..

"The Hound" was on her list..... "Sandor" was not.

When Sansa told him she'd fed Ramsey to his own hounds they both laughed. Both Stark girls were alive because of him. Sansa squeezed his hand in quiet gratitude and at the end Arya called him by his name and said so much in those two words, "thank you" in my opinion the show ended there, all the rest was anti climax

The only story and character development they didn’t fuck up, loved this scene.

He fought to save Arya, he fought to save the world, he fought to save himself but most importantly he fought to eat every chicken in the building. RIP Clegane :*(

The most poignant and touching moment of the whole series was when Arya called out to the Hound using his real name. One word - " Sandor ." So much was said with that one word.

When He said -" I fought for you didn't I?" My heart melted 😭

Arya may have put hound in her list.. But she put sandor in her heart ❤️ One of the best bonding in the show ❤️

They had the best relationship in GOT. They were such a good duo and they cared about each other so much. I'm gonna miss this father/daughter pair because that is what I think Sandor became to her. I honestly think he knew her better than anyone else at this point, he was there when she changed into what she is today, he fully understands it and he fully accepted it. He wasn't afraid of her or in awe of her, he didn't want anything from her, he just cared enough about her to give her some good advice.

I cried when Sandor died. He protected her even when it didn’t benefit him. Arya was the only person he did that for.

He died in flames with his brother. Two of his biggest fears were conquered at once.

This is one of the best tributes I’ve seen. The bond between Arya and Sandor definitely was the best parts of the series. I’m going to really miss Sandor Clegane the Hound.

I love that line by Tormund: “I don’t think you’re really mean, you’ve got sad eyes”

God,the way she said "Sandor"... It sounded so sweet in her voice, so soft, so like the tiny Arya we remember back from the very first season. Loved the scene, loved the actors, it was amazing.

BOTH the Stark girls owe their lives to Sandor Clegane. (And you could see they both knew this and deeply cared for him as a result).

The emotion I felt when she called him Sandor is hard to describe. The relationship between these two was so well done, so unique and really hard to put into words.

I Say THANK YOU to Sandor Clegane as well. He had a heart as well.

Sandor saved Arya's life more times than she'll ever know.

He was the perfect example of an antihero. The one who has none of the traditional characteristics of a hero, flawed, miserable, doesn't even want to do what he does - but rises to something far greater than himself and is a hero in the end.

Sandor was an Angel in the Shape of a Beast. He will be missed Dearly Infact every GOT fan would miss him.

The relationship between these two has left an indelible mark.

Ayra was the child he could never have, and sansa was the love he was never meant to know.

Sandor Clegane's character arc was epic. He started off as a man who was full of hate and he transformed into a compassionate man. After Brienne, the Hound was no more and Sandor became the man he was meant to be. The fact he got his revenge makes me happy for him. He deserved so much more.

Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane...one of my favorite characters in game of thrones... He was as much a father to Arya as Lord Eddard Stark... His character is one of the most complete ones... Both in the books and in the show... ❤️ And this is one of the best videos I saw abt him

This made me realise The Hound and Arya's story is best in whole of GoT

Sandor Clegane was always my very favorite character. He started out seemingly bad because that's what he was always paid to do, but as he took care of Arya he taught them both (himself and her) a few things about life. Ned was trying to teach her how to fight but sadly it wasn't near enough. The Hound took over and finished teaching her what she really needed to survive.

Sandor and Theon. Two brilliantly done character arcs. Amazing work by the actors

The hound loves arya like a father More then he hated his brother.

I think Sandor shouldve been one of the characters to survive the show, Not every good person has to die....

She killed the hound but saved sandor... They make each other better.. there has been hatred, despise but in the end it was shared grief ,caring and respect... Will forever be grateful for not ruining this character arc..😍

This duo is the most poetic in any TV series ever. A hound watching over a wolf pup. Being mean and truthful for her own benefit until she realizes how good of a person he truly is. He is the only one who understood how the world worked and for that he was so blunt and seemed hateful. Their last scene together gives me chills everytime.

Edits like this make it look like season 8 is a masterpiece. This is why I will always firmly believe that fanfic writers and fandom video editors can fix anything. Thank you for this beautiful video. 💕

He might not be the father she wanted or deserved, but he was the father she needed. Thanks to the Hound she is alive

The hound was a complex character that showed as the series moved on that he wasn't just a hired killer... he clearly had feelings for Sansa and certainly would have taken her to safety had she travelled with him. When he captured Arya.... it's ironic because as soon as he did she was the safest she was at any point before or after. He saw a lot of himself in Arya and this brought out the caring side in him even if he tried to mask it. He went from captur to protector in a short space of time. Arya's feelings towards him also changed as he revealed more about himself. I think by the end when she was hell bent on killing Cersei and he grabbed her and then emplored her to get out alive she finally realised what he had been doing for her all along... she realised that this big rough warrior really cared and wanted to protect her. That why she called him Sandor at the end and thanked him. She had separated him from his hard exterior to the caring protective man whom she owed a debt of gratitude to. It probably wasn't love on his behalf but he genuinely liked, protected and cared deeply for her. An excellent story within a story.... enhanced greatly by two naturally talented actors.

"I fought for you, didn't I?" I loved these two characters together. I don't think Sandor could have existed in the world once Gregor was dead, he'd have nothing left to do. But did all he could to keep Arya from dying there.

Literally best 2 characters of the whole season, it shows how hard sad strong people can be nice and caring for others even if it causes their whole life . Sandor and Arya was the best bond in the whole show ❤️ sandor will always be remembered, atleast he died happily.

Years later and I still get chills!!

Through action,a man becomes a hero. Through death,a hero becomes a legend. Through time,a legend becomes a Myth.

The very best of best character(s) duo’s. If Sandor had lived he would’ve joined Arya in her quest to the west.

Arya and Clegane ..one of the best team of GOT❤❤❤😢💪💪💪💪👍

I fucking loved in the battle of Winterfell when Sandor was having a panic attack because of all the fire, all it took was seeing Arya in danger to snap him out of it. He did a full on Molly Weasley. "Not my daughter you bitch!" And then his next scene was standing right next to a flaming sword. There are only two things stronger then his fear of fire; his hatred for his brother and his love for Arya. He also rode through fire at the red wedding to save her.

Sandor Clegane had such a poetic death. He died paying back to his brother exactly what he did to him. Jumping in what's terrified him the most, all his life. AMAZING

"Ah do we have here, you left me to die!" "First I robbed you." Lmao.

unreal job, this 5 minutes was better than the whole season

4:13 the warmth in his eyes hits hard here. The love he has for her burns through all his words, deeds and cynicism of the world in this moment.

I "rage quit" that chapter when he "dies" after Brienne... He was my favorite character. I remember how HAPPY i was on that 6th season chapter when i saw that hands chopping wood, i knew its him before the camera focus on his face. His story arc along with Arya is without any doubs, the best of GOT, i love that even D&D cant destroy this develop of this two characters. That last scene was just PERFECT, nothing more and nothing less than perfect.

Their relationship was the best thing about this series.

This is so perfect im tearing up aahhdh they were seriously such a perfect duo, their scenes were always brilliant to watch. I’m so glad they got a proper good ending with that last “Sandor, thank you.” He really need that, it shows he really did make up for all the bad he did and he is deserving of respect and thanks, so when he died killing his brother he died in peace.

I love Sandor Clegane, he was one of the best character in the show. He holds a special part in my heart. ❤️

That image of Sandor staring down his brother while Drogon flies past is the best

Arya and the hound had a really complicated relationship throughout the game of Thrones. In that time l don't believe that Arya called him by his name, except at the end when Arya said thank you. A truly noble moment.

Him putting his hands on her in such a caring way was the best part of their entire time together. He made her know he cared for her. The hound was great.

Best men of the seven kingdoms ! Thank you and rest in peace Sandor 🖤

that end scene with sandor and arya, gets me every time, so beautiful and powerful, dang it, dang them onions haha

I'm having a rough time right now, so maybe I'm a bit more emotional than usual, but ... that 'thank you' at the end parks some tears,

Interesting that I didn't shed a tear watching episode 5 and his death tough I really love Hound. But I'm crying now. Thank you for such an emotional tribute for one of the best character in the GoT

I don’t watch GoT but Sandor Clegane was always my favorite character. He’s a man that’s done many bad things but deep down, he’s a good person who loves Arya like his own daughter.❤️

Sandor is a good example of those google who are truly google but they act tough to show the world they aren't soft but tough in the actual sense they are lambs inside, so loving and caring. They know their vulnerability and they are afraid to show it for it might be used against them. Arya and Sandor best duo ❤️💙

I am going to watch this entire series again just to see and feel this relationship again. Pretty much the best and most comprehensive character arc in the whole series.

The b ond between Arya and The Hound is the best.

Beautiful. They were such a great pair. He protected the Stark girls and earned his redemption when he wasn't even trying. Another stunning video.

It broke my heart when he said "I fought for you." And she called him Sandor. Fuckin great video.

Arya looked like a scared little girl again when Sandor held her head, incredible acting. I’ll miss these two.

He is not a good and he is not a villain . He is something beetwin of all that. He dont win anything to help to fight whiteworkers . He never take a reward because the people fear and hate him not only because his brother and because the scars on his face. He is a tragic character and he have only one perpose to kill that monster his brother. And the end help Arya to survive . RIP Sandor

That tribute made me feel a lot better about the last episode. I was devastated to see him go, but as with most deaths, the show had a great story to go with it and everything fit.

The Hound knew how terrible the world truly was. He hated fighting for the Lannister's, hated the King, Cersei, etc. But he did it because he has nothing to care for, nobody he admired. But I think he saw something in both the Stark girls. He saw a fighting spirit, and loyalty towards their family. I think in his own way he genuinely had a fatherly love for both of them, but especially to Arya. And his role in protecting and mentoring Arya ultimately was pivotal in helping her to survive long enough for her to go on to become an assassin and learn the skills she needed in order to defeat the Night King.

Their writing was like the only ones the writers couldn't destroy.... best duo I can recall in tv history.

The best duo ever! Thank you arya and clegane!❤❤❤

RIP Hound my favorite character, always kept it real.

Very nice compilation. Arya's time with Sandor taught her that he never bothered to lie about what he was, or try to ingratiate himself to anyone. It was how she learned to trust in the signs that she began to see, that he respected her and even came to care for her in his way. Sandor had an ocean of pain behind his wall of anger. His expression, his words when the buried the poor man and his daughter were such that it would not have been more powerful if he'd fallen to his knees and started bawling. We saw on more than one occasion that Sandor had a least something soft side for girls. In the end, Sandor gave Arya everything he had left that wasn't vengeance.

When he admited to Brienne he indeed was protecting Arya :'0

Best part of the entire show Arya/Hound scenes.

They’re definitely the best duo of this series. The unconventional frenemies/ foster family they both didn’t know that they needed. He gave her a new perspective on the world that helped her survive it... she gave him a chance to feel human again though she started out with hate, because despite of or maybe inspite of her hate, she was the first person who didn’t shy away or got scared of looking at him and more than that she had the nerve to justify her hatred and tell him as she looked him in the eye she’d kill him someday. All his life owing to his appearance people avoided looking at him as much as they could or only cared for the fear they could employ by using his skills. He had been feared and he had been employed for who he was... but worse than that he was reduced to feeling like and being considered a beast, a dog... Arya’s hate was a refreshing change for him because despite not meaning to, not even knowing that she was doing it she was humanizing him just by being herself around him and not being afraid of him. In the end as she called him Sandor, it wasn’t just because she wanted to thank him... but because she knew that the Hound was dead... Arya’s killed the Hound and the man who loved her enough to make sure she lived was in fact really Sandor Clegane.

I have to repeat some of these comments, this is one of the best videos I've seen of Arya and Sandor's relationship. Father/daughter or BFFs, he loved her and she loved him as they each were and grew to become. I can't call him "The Hound" anymore because he honestly, truly wasn't in the end.

Behind the huge strong killing man there's a soft heart. Sandor is one of the great characters, the funniest too.

Love how he showed her where the heart is, just for her to kill the night king by stabbing him in the heart 💜

"I fought for you didn't I?" this sceneeee

If you told me in 2011 that Sandor would become one of my favourite characters, and that I'd eventually shed tears when he dies, I would never have believed it. (Beautifully-edited video, btw!)

I watch these clips and get an instant reminder that this was simply the best TV series ever 👍

Great chemistry between these 2 from start to finish.One of the best bonds formed in game of thrones.The hound always saw a younger version of himself in arya which is why he liked her so much

Arya never listened to anyone but Sandor & she did listen to him, returned in the end & thanked him before he left, it was one of the best moments of season 8 as there weren’t many but this certainly was ♥️

Sandor 'THE HOUND' Clegane; probably has the best character development throughout the series. Loved this character. Arya & Sandor is truly the most beautiful relationship in GoT. PS: Sandor loved Arya more than chicken.

Sandor was my favorite character in the entire series... And there were so many great characters 👍

This guy deserves so much more....

His character development was beautiful and not trashed in the end like some others. Well played, well played indeed.

The best scene of these two, was when they get to the vale and Arya hears about her aunts death. She laughs histerically realizing her misfortune, while Sandor has the "fuck my life" face realizing he doesn't get any reward. Both just had a shitty day at the same time

Her "thank you" was the sincerest I've ever heard

arya calling him "Sandor" at ep 5 was so profoundly moving. It surprised the viewing audience just as it shocked the Hound himself. I wish he had said more to her but he was always a man of few words. He will be missed, and I hope Arya pays tribute to him in the last episode.

Beautifully edited. It was probably the most unique relationship in the whole series.

"Sandor, thank you." Enough said! One of the best scenes.

The poetry woven throughout this show pierces even the hardest of hearts. Very moving. The hound is my favorite character out of all the great performances that took part in this series because even though he may play one of the toughest, hardest and meanest roles on the show..... beneath all that hides just another human with vulnerabilities born outve hardships; and once every so often he uncovers his humanity for a brief moment that exposes his kindness and the conflict within him.

It was so touching when he said „you want to be like me?“ Knowing you destroyed yourself bc of your heartless brother...he was so self- sacrificing. He did so much for others and the last thing was what he did for himself taking out his monster brother... arya and the hound were just perfect together. He knew arya has a soft heart just like him. Great video

Arya and Sandor could of been a movie all to itself!! Awesome tribute!!

OK, we can argue about who comes close, but there can be no denying Arya Stark and Maisie Williams, the actress who played her is by far the most badass character in TV history. This tribute was amazing.

I loved this video gets me everytime , Sandor loved Arya more then he loved himself. 💔💔💔

Always get goosebumps watching your videos...

These two had amazing chemistry. They became the main reason I kept watching it.

So many great storylines woven into this show but Sandor was indeed one of my favorites.

Sandor really was a father figure to Arya, whether she knew it or not. Her outward appearance reflected her Northern heritage that resembled Ned and Jon, but her persona was so very similar to The Hound's. It's really obvious when she got back to Westeros, the scene in the pub where she sees Hot Pie again. She totally emulates Clegane in that scene, and almost every one after that when she acts like a hard killer. I think their story arc ended perfectly this way. Bittersweet. Thank you for this video. You've managed to make me cry. Again.
