It was a beautiful village wedding—full of laughter, music, and love. Everyone had gathered to celebrate the bride and groom, dancing and raising glasses under the open sky.
No one noticed the woman in the long green dress walking quietly from the edge of the woods. She looked calm, almost graceful, as she moved toward the crowd. But beneath her flowing gown, she was hiding something.
No one paid her any attention.
Except Bayrak.
Bayrak, an older dog belonging to the groom’s best friend, had been lounging under a table, resting in the shade. He’d been by his master’s side all morning, but now his body tensed. His ears stood up, tail stiff, eyes locked on the woman.
He sensed danger.
As she drew closer—just yards from the bride and groom—Bayrak suddenly lunged. Guests turned, startled, as he charged, barking furiously. He bit at her dress, pulling her down to the ground.
There was a moment of confusion, then horror.
Seconds later, a blast tore through the air.
The explosion happened at the edge of the field—away from the crowd. People screamed and ducked. But the worst had been avoided.
The woman had been carrying a bomb.
She was a terrorist, planning to detonate it among the guests. But Bayrak stopped her. At the cost of his own life, he saved dozens of others.
The next day, the whole village gathered under an old oak tree to bury him. The bride, the groom, and every guest stood in silence.
A simple plaque marked the spot:
“Bayrak. Loyal friend. Hero.”
