This statue of a dog is part of the menorial to Gelert, the faithful hunting hound of Prince Llywelyn.
The story goes that, one day in around the 12th century, when Llywelyn was out hunting, Gelert was unaccountably not with him. Upon his return home, he found his baby son Gruffudd's cot overturned, and blood everywhere -- also on the jaws of Gelert, who leapt up to greet his master. Grief-stricken and thinking the worst, Llywelyn drew his sword and plunged it into Gelert's side. As the dog's howl of anguish died with him, Llywelyn heard a snuffling cries of Gruffudd, and found him in a corner under cotcloths, safe and unharmed. He also found the corpse of a great wolf, which Gelert had slain in defence of Gruffudd.....
There is a small memorial at Beddgelert (literally, "Gelert's Grave") in North Wales, and this is part of it. The grave is still there.

Great tale, Anton, the dog statue pic has a very history-laden feel with the lighting. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

My oldest and best buddies for 17 years. Buster and Midnight, Buster was a brown and white Basenji mix and Midnight was Black and white and Cocker Spaniel mix. They have passed on now, but I will never forget them they were my family for 17 years and I will see them again someday.

While Buster and midnight were still alive, I was working on the Pima Indian reservation at the senior centor and someone had abandoned this little dog there and I adopted her. I named her Princess. Im not sure what kind of dog she is, maybe a border collie, terrier mix ? But she is a beautiful dog, very smart and very well behaved. She is still with me today, I call her my Indian Princess.
