The Welsh Arthurian knight Owain had a special bond with wild beasts. He commanded 300 magical ravens, and his most loyal companion was a black lion he had saved from a giant serpent. Afterwards, the lion constantly followed Owain around like an eagerly friendly dog.

In Welsh folklore, Cavall was King Arthur's favourite dog. His name is similar to a Latin word for "horse," indicating great size, strength, and speed. While hunting the giant boar Trwyth, Cavall left a footprint on a stone cairn that proved impossible to remove.
