Loyalty
(shown left)
To the Celt, the most valued companion was the
wolfhound, or 'Cú'. Noted for its great size, it
was used to hunt large game and it's said that the
wolfhound even pulled men from horseback in battle. One of the most famous legends
tell of Cú Chulainn, who was born Setanta, but changed
his name after accidentally killing the wolfhound of the
smith, Culann. He vowed to take the place of the
wolfhound, guarding the pass into Ulster and thus became
known as the hound of Culann. Enjoy the splendour of this design.
