BeeHiveStudios :

btw this dog was treated as a saint for a long time despite the church never officiating it

Chatterbox :

The scene is not meant to be viewrd as is- the wolf head is partially covered by blue cloth (symbolizing deception), his right foot is bent symbolizing he didnt start off on right foot, the man in drenched in red (angry thoughts, angry destination, and anger wraps his blade) and the sheathe at his side is ornate (noble cause) is empty and blue (deceptive) but on the ground lies a crude barbaric knife (hinting his action was savage) beneathe a yellow cloth (betrayal like judas betraying his best friend)

BK :

You missed out the bit where Llywellyn is said to have never smiled again after this day.

From this I learned: anger should be strictly defensive, never retaliatory or offensive

Gelert the hound. There is a village in North Wales called Beddgelert which translates to Gelert’s grave. Beautiful little place near Snowdon with a memorial and statue for the dog. I wrote a song of the same name when I was out there!

elise ˚ 𝜗𝜚˚⋆｡☆ :

is there a statue of this dog somewhere or do i have it confused with a different story?

Roddie :

i believe the dog was giving military honors, and it was said the man never smiled after that day because he felt so guilty

“This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.” James 1 : 19 - 20
