This is a story about dogs... “sea-dogs“ to be exact.
This is also a story about bravery, courage, and laying your life down to protect someone else.
This is one of the most dramatic, and tragic stories ever lost to Welsh history. This is the story of Griffith Owen, or how a man from Wales tried to fight a shark with a sword.
