Somehow seems less heroic when you realize how small the dragon was

That's a really tiny dragon..

Selective breeding for size was a science in its infancy back then

tbh it's not that impressive to kill a dragon the size of a gecko. Or was Saint George (and also his horse) brontosaurus-sized?

And tbf it's more like the size of a large dog, if we're taking the horse as a reference point XD
