The Dog Who Was Killed for Saving a Prince's Baby

Gelert was a loyal hound to Prince Llywelyn of Wales. One day, the prince returned home to find his baby missing and Gelert’s mouth stained with blood. Believing the dog had harmed the child, he struck him down. Moments later, he discovered his baby alive — and the real danger, a slain wolf nearby.

Too late, the prince realized Gelert had saved his child. His sorrow became legend. Today, Gelert’s grave still stands as a symbol of loyalty, sacrifice, and misunderstood heroism.
