A lot of people are familar with the story of a brave dog that faithfully defended his master's baby son, but which was then killed through misunderstanding. However, only a few peole know that the story is really a pack of lies. Let me explain. About a hundred or so years ago there was a hotel owner in Wales who was fed up with business being so bad. His hotel was stuck in the middle of nowhere and hardly anyone came to stay. Then, one day, he had a bright idea. A famous prince called Llewellyn had lived in the area during the Middle Ages and he had been fond of dogs. This is highly probable as hunting was extremely popular at that time. So what he did was to invent the story of a brave and faithful dog and how he had been killed by his ungrateful master. Of course, people would be far more likely to believe the story if there was something they could see. Accordingly, one day, the hotel keeper went to the top of a high hill and built a sort of monument from the stones he found lying around. The "legend" soon caught up and developed a life of its own. People came from afar and wide to see the spot where the hound was buried. So, business became very good for the hotel owner.
