Black and white portrait of a St Bernard rescue dog, his fur covered with a light dusting of early snow. Copyright 2018 ChrisArmytage™, Photographic Artist, Australia.
The St. Bernard is a breed of very large working dog from the western Alps. They were originally bred for rescue at the Great St Bernard Pass on the Italian-Swiss border, and Little St Bernard Pass in the Italian-French border, located close to one another. The two hospices were built and run by the same monk brotherhood. The breed has become famous through tales of alpine rescues, as well as for its enormous size.
