Dog of St. Bernard and Other Stories

High in the snowy Alps, where avalanches thunder and travelers can vanish in sudden storms, the monks of St. Bernard keep watch from their mountain convent. Their remarkable dogs are trained to search the passes, carrying warmth and comfort to people lost in the cold. Through clear, vivid storytelling, listeners learn about the courage, loyalty, and intelligence that made these animals famous rescuers.

The opening account follows a celebrated dog whose brave service has saved many lives, then turns to the moving tale of a child found alone in the snow. Verses and prose bring the perilous mountain setting to life, from the monks’ glowing hearth to the dogs’ urgent journey through the darkness. Alongside the central story, the collection promises other engaging tales drawn from the natural world, offering young listeners lessons in compassion, courage, and care for living creatures.
