Did you know there was once a medieval saint... who was a dog?

Saint Guinefort was a loyal greyhound who was mistakenly killed after saving a child from a deadly snake. When the truth was discovered, local villagers began honoring him as a martyr and miracle worker.

The Church never officially recognized Guinefort as a saint, but devotion to the heroic hound continued for centuries.
