PART C_2
Humans and dogs have been friends for about 15,000 years. During that time, dogs played many roles for people, such as pets, hunting dogs, police dogs, and now, guide dogs and therapy dogs. The people of Switzerland, in particular, have a strong affection for the Saint Bernard. Its name originated from the Great St. Bernard Hospice in the Western Alps. In the 17th century, Saint Bernard dogs served as rescue dogs for the hospice.

Barry, the Saint Bernard dog, stands out the most. He saved 41 lives deep in the snowy mountains. “Day after day he would search the mountain for unfortunate people buried under avalanches. He dug them out and brought them back to life by himself,” a Swiss animal psychologist said.

However, in October 2004, many people in Switzerland were shocked to hear that the monks at the Great St. Bernard Hospice would be selling their dogs. Due to modern technology, people can now be rescued by helicopters and others, and it had been difficult for them to watch over the 18 dogs. The Swiss people worked together and created the Barry Foundation. They purchased the 18 dogs and are taking care of them in Martigny, a western Swiss town.

The Swiss people have a long and deep relationship with the Saint Bernard, Switzerland’s national dog.
