theres a folk lore story from many years ago
about a famous dog that every one would know
the dog he was from wales a folk lore tragedy
a tale they say is true that didnt have to be
it tells of a prince. named Llywelyn the Great
tells the story of his son in a tragic fate
went out on a hunt left his dog to guard is son
prince he went of to have some hunting fun
when the prince returned he saw blood on the hound
looked in his sons cot was nowhere to be found
prince he drew his sword killed his faithful hound
there were yells and screams as he fell to the ground
then he heard a cry from a blooded blanket on the floor
the prince lifted up the blanket there a dead wolf saw
his son was still alive his dog saved a tragedy
he fought to save his son with all his bravery
now the dog his a legend Gelert his is name
alway to be remebered in the hall of fame
theres a memorial you can visit south of Beddgelert village
its in wales
