St Bernard Dogs Swiss Heroes as Life Savers
The St Bernard dogs of the Great St Bernard Hospice in Switzerland have long been famed for life saving. Monks of the Order of St Augustine bred and trained them for mercy missions in deep snow conditions, noting the dogs’ keen sense of location and endurance despite centuries of isolation where heavy snowdrifts prevail. The breed emerged through monkly crossbreeding with Newfoundlands in 1830, adding longer fur but not changing core traits.

A Montreal Herald writer notes that our first forks were fingers and earliest spoons were the hollow of the hand. The spoon predates the knife and fork, carried in belt cases in the Middle Ages, with cases as ornate as the tools. Through the Sixteenth century more sets appeared, often as presentation pieces, and old silver spoons remain prized heirlooms.
