St. Guinefort Charity Pin PREORDER! $5 from the sale of each pin will go to the Greyhound Safety Net, a local greyhound rescue charity.
Guinefort was the loyal greyhound of a knight. The knight tasked Guinefort with watching over his infant child while he was out hunting. When the knight returned he was shocked to find Guinefort with blood on his mouth, the cot overturned and the baby nowhere to be seen. Assuming the worst of the dog, the knight slew Guinefort for killing his child, however upon committing the act, the knight heard a baby's cry and turned over the cot to see his child unharmed next to the dead body of a viper. Guinefort was thus revered for his loyalty and innocence and was regarded as a local folk-saint who would watch over children.
One of the original Good Boys, St. Guinefort will look after children whose irresponsible parents have left them on their own with the dog.
The pin will be hard enamel, the halo is recessed gold plated metal and the blood is red translucent enamel. He is just over 2″ long and has a backstamp, two posts and rubber clutches. Guinefort is AU$23 (plus shipping) and he should ship in March 2020 (all going according to plan)
