| 词源 | Aubry’s dog. The dog Dragon’s French master, Aubry of Montdidier, was murdered in 1371 by Richard of Macaire. Thereafter, whenever Richard appeared, Dragon attacked him. This excited suspicion of Richard, and he was ordered into ju- dicial combat with the dog. Dragon killed him, and in his last moments Richard confessed the murder of Aubry. An Aubry’s dog is thus a very loyal, faithful dog. |
