“ Far, far up the mountain there is a building called the Convent of St. Bernard.
[6] Here is found that wonderful race of dogs called the Dogs of St. Bernard, famous all over the world for their noble deeds.
These dogs are trained to go out on the mountains among the snow, and search for missing travelers.
Suppose you are taking a journey across the Alps.
A terrible snow storm comes on. Night is drawing near, while you are weary with your journey, and perishing with cold and hunger.
Your whole body begins to feel numb, and soon you will be unable to go any farther. ”

“ Such is the work the monks of St. Bernard and their famous dogs have often had to do.
[8] One dog saved the lives of twenty-two persons, who, but for his help, would have perished.
For many years this dog wore a medal round his neck, which was given him in honor of his deeds!
The following story tells how this noble creature at last met his death:—
At the foot of the mountain there is a little village. Here dwelt a poor courier, who used to carry letters and messages across the mountain. ”
