What goes around comes
around could be as true for
dogs as it is for humans.
St. Bernards were
originally bred to assist religious pilgrims
in making it safely across a hazardous
mountain pass on their way to
Rome. This breed’s rescue missions began in
the 1660s and
have continued ever
since.
A lot of good karma must have therefore accrued. So much so that the tables were recently turned. When a St. Bernard named
Daisy collapsed last
week upon “England’s highest mountain,” a human
team was sent to save her.
Sixteen people carried
all 121 pounds of this massive dog over
many an obstacle, “including a waterfall.” They managed this while wear
pandemic-issued masks. Daisy must have sensed
that folks were on her side, for she
became “extremely placid and compliant.” After all, her ancestors had been doing
this for
centuries.
