Guinefort was a 13th-century greyhound revered as a folk saint after sacrificing his life to protect a nobleman’s infant, only to be tragically killed when mistaken for a threat. Despite the Church’s rejection, Guinefort became a symbol of loyalty, protection, and misunderstood heroism, venerated for centuries as a guardian of children and good fortune.
