"Introduced in 1972, this adorable pooch was sculpted by Chris Hess on mold #321. The use of St. Bernards as rescue dogs in the Swiss and Italian Alps dates back to the late 17th century and these winter-loving soldiers saved thousands of lives over the course of hundreds of years. Though their use as rescue dogs has fallen out of practice in the alps, they are still an iconic breed and we salute their years of service." www.breyerhorses.com.
