Contextposting:

According to a legend, Gelert was the dog of prince Lywelyn the great.

One day he came back to his house and found Gelert with a bloody mouth, so the prince thought the dog killed his baby and went on to kill Gelert.

However, he then found the baby safe and the body of a dead wolf nearby, meaning Gelert protected the baby from being eaten and was killed by mistake.
