"The Woodcutter's Dog" by Charles Nodier is a poignant children's story originally written in French and translated into English in the early 20th century, specifically in 1921. This tale follows the life of a humble woodcutter and his family living dangerously close to pack of wolves in the Forest of Lions, revealing themes of love, bravery, and sacrifice. The narrative centers around Brisquet, the woodcutter, his wife Brisquette, and their two young children, Biscotin and Biscotine. They also have a loyal dog named Bichonne. As winter sets in and food becomes scarce, Brisquet anxiously warns his family to stay safe from the lurking wolves. Tragically, when Brisquet is delayed in returning home, his children venture out, prompting Bichonne to defend them from a wolf. In a heroic act, Bichonne is killed while warning Brisquet, who arrives just in time to save the children. The family mourns their beloved pet, who is commemorated with a touching tombstone, leading to the legend of "Brisquet’s dog," a symbol of loyalty and loss in their community.
