Myths of the Dog Gellert is a book written by S. Baring-Gould that explores the legend of Gellert, a faithful dog in Welsh folklore. The story goes that Gellert saved the life of his owner, Prince Llywelyn, by attacking a wolf that was about to attack the prince's infant son. However, when Llywelyn returned and saw Gellert covered in blood and his son missing, he assumed that Gellert had attacked and killed his son. In his rage, Llywelyn killed Gellert, only to later find his son unharmed and the wolf dead. The story has become a popular tale of loyalty and betrayal, and Baring-Gould delves into the various versions of the story and its possible origins. The book also includes other myths and legends involving dogs from different cultures. Overall, Myths of the Dog Gellert is a fascinating exploration of a beloved legend and its enduring impact on popular culture.THIS 18 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Curious Myths of the Middle Ages, by S.
