It is a long story but please find time to read.
This dog was so faithful that d woman could
leave her baby with it & go out to attend
other matters.
-She always returned to find d child soundly
asleep with d dog faithfully watching over him..
-One day something tragic happened.
-The woman as usual, left d baby in d "hands"
of this faithful dog & went out shopping.
... -When she returned, she disc...overed rather a
nasty scene, there was a total mess. -The baby's cot was dismantled; his nappies &
clothes torn to shreds with bloodstains all
over d bedroom where she left the child & d
dog.
-Shocked, the woman wailed as she began
looking for the baby. -Presently, she saw the faithful dog emerging
from under d bed.
-It was covered with blood and licking its
mouth as it had just finished a delicious meal.
-The woman went berserk& assumed that d
dog had devoured her baby. -Without much thought she clubbed d dog to
death.
-But as she continued searching for d
"remains" of her child, she beheld another
scene.
-Close 2 d bed was the baby who, although lying on bare floor, was safe. & under the bed
the carcass of a jackal torn to pieces in what
must have been a fierce battle between it & d
dog which was now dead.
-Then reality hit d womanwho now began to
understand what took place in her absence. -dogfought to protect the baby from the
ravenous jackal.
-It was too late for her now to make amends
because in her impatienceand anger, she had
killed the faithful dog.
-A dog deserving praise & adoration,that fought to save d life of her dear beloved child
received death in return
-Hw often have we misjudged people & torn
them to shreds with harshwords and deeds
before we have had time to evaluate d
situation? - It is called SIN OF PRESUMPTION
- Presuming things our way without taking d
trouble to find out exactlywhat d situation
really is.

I know this story. It's well known and I read it way back in primary school.

It was about a farmer who had a faithful dog called Jack? One day the farmer went out (can't remember where to), but on his return, met the scene you just described. And it wasn't a jackle that intruded, it was a pair of wolves.

The dog wasn't clubbed to death, it was shot by the farmer and when he realised his mistake, carried the body of his faithful dog, and with a heavy heart, buried it.

@ poster, you really must be careful about not acknowledging the true source of a well known, written & published piece of work - as you could be accused of plagarism which in itself is a serious offence.

Eureka!

I've found the link to the story. It's actually called The Legend of Gelert, a famous 13th century Welsh legend.

No need to go on the defensive with me.

How on earth can trying to pass off someone else's work as your own be deemed creative??
