Summary

Dog of St. Bernard, and other stories (July 2013)

Far, far up the mountain there is a building called the Convent of St. Bernard.
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.
