Saint Bernard


The Saint Bernard is a giant dog that has been used to find avalanche victims and travelers lost in the snow. Traveling in packs, these dogs find lost people. Part of the pack stays with the lost travelers to hydrate them and keep them warm, while other dogs return home to bring back human rescuers. The Saint Bernard can smell an avalanche victim a mile away buried under snow. These powerful dogs can quickly dig through snow to free people. Like most search and rescue dogs, this breed likes people and enjoys working.
