There was a big dispute between Joff and Arya because Joff got hurt and was mad about it. He thought of a big story to tell the queen, which led to the queen wanting to punish Arya by killing one of the direwolves since she wanted a new fur. Ned took on the responsibility of killing the direwolf, but made sure to send it off so that the queen couldn't have the fur. It was a chapter full of emotion; anger, grieve, and empathy. Also, it was filled with deceit.
This chapter is important to this section of the book because the direwolves were supposed to symbolize the children and Ned's children grew a great bond with their own direwolf. The situation that happened, shows that you must always keep your guard up, even with family, because they could change their mind and lie on or to you with no hesitation.
Your analysis seems spot-on; well done. (You are quite able to follow the message, where as I, subtly put...am not).
