Dee, try two different books. One is "The Hound and the Hawk" which I believe you have. There are a couple of hound stories in there. The other is "The History of the Greyhound". The one about the Wolfhound (although they say it is a greyhound) saving the boy from the wolf/snake (different versions) and the owner coming back and killing the hound is in there. This is the hound that was made a "saint" and later banned by the Catholic church. If you want I can let you know what pages. I lent the Hound and the Hawk out but can get it back this coming weekend. Rebecca

Isn't there some story about a wolfhound who defended his master's son from wolves, only to be killed because the master thought the dog was the villain (not the wolves)? Does anyone have useful sources or suggestions for more "hounds of myth and legend"? (British Isles would be great, but I'm not too picky). OE poetry is incredibly versatile in terms of topic--the devil is in the details of meter and form, sigh. Thanks!! Derbail Yahoo!
