Beth Gellert by John D. Batten
A prince once received a greyhound from his father-in-law. This greyhound was his best hunter, and his favorite dog of all. One day, he went to go hunting. He blew his horn and all his other dogs came but the greyhound. He even called the greyhound by name, but he still didn't come. He decided to continue on the hunt without him. On this hunt, he wasn't very successful as he didn't have his best dog out there. When he arrived back home, the greyhound greeted him. However, the greyhound seemed ashamed. The prince notice that blood was dripping from his mouth. He had a bad feeling and went to check on his infant son. The infant son was not in his crib, which was overturned with blood everywhere. The prince assumed his dog killed his son, so he took the sword and killed him. As the dog died, the prince heard his son, unharmed, cry out from underneath the overturned crib. Next to the child was the dead body of a wolf.
