  "What have you done?" the Prince said.He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son.The cradle was lying on its side on the floor.The clothes were torn and there was blood on them.

  "So you have killed my son?" the Prince said angrily."You unfaithful dog!" He took out his sword and killed the dog.Just as Gelert was dying, he managed to bark.Then the Prince heard a baby call to the dog.
