The story is about a prince called Llewelyn who have a dog named Gelert, the prince had a wife and a son too, but his wife dead in his child-birth.
This story takes place in the middle age, in Wales. The action begins when Llewelyn and his men went out for haunting and said to his cute and strong dog to protecte and take care for his little son, that lay in his crudle. 

When the prince came back home in late, tired but victorious, he opened the door he don't found his baby lying in the crudle but just the floor and even the son's crudle was full of blood. He looked down to see Gelert's trusting eyes gazing up on him. The dog looked exhausted: his head and his paws were stained to blood.

The prince roared "you wicked creature!" and without thinking he took his dagger and plunged it deep into Gelert's side. As the dog lay dying to the ground Llewelyn heard a soft whimpering from behind the crudle.
He picked up gently his son and too late he saw a huge wolf lay dead, like his bravery dog and too late he knew everything. He understand his big mistake. 

Filled with remorse, Llewelyn picked up his faithful friend and buried him outside tha castle walls, close to the river.
