After one particular hunting trip the prince had returned home to find the cradle of the baby
overturned and the bedding and the floor covered in blood.
With the baby missing and seeing his dog with blood covering his mouth the Prince plunged his
sword into the dog thinking that he had killed the baby.
The dog’s dying yelp was answered by a child’s cry. The prince searched and found the baby
