Saint Bernard with a little keg on its collar

Did these ever really exist, anyway? If not, where did the concept come from (probably a cartoonist?)

I belive the St. Bernard was named after .... St Bernard of Clairveaux! Someone else can give you real history. My vague, pieced-together mis-understanding of this is that St. Bernard founded a monastery in the French/Swiss Alps, presumably at Clairveaux -- which must "rustly" translate into "Wow! Dig that view!". The monastery, being high-up was intended in part as a "hospital" to offer care to travellers and climbers taking Alpine passes. The dogs, presumably bred by monks at Clairveaux in the decades or centuries after St. Bernard, were bred for their superior strength, thick coat, temperment and intelligence, to rescue travellers from snowblindness, frostbite, fatigue, etc. They did wear little kegs of brandy hung around their collars, in order orrevive and refresh the travelers until they reached the safety of the monastery. Presumably the dogs were strong enough they could assist in dragging a weary wayfarer to help, big enough they could keep him warm if he ccouldn;t move, etc.

THAT was a different era! To recapture a bit of that past, pick up a bottle of Green Chartreuse liquer, in the cordials section at your local liquor store. Still made according to a 400 year old receipe, by Fench monks at Grenoble.

Squirrel Hunter,

I read somewhere the other day that Green Chartreuse is made with many, many different kinds of herbs, and is sometimes used for 'medicinal' purposes. : ) Supposedly is good for what ails ya'. = )

Good old-fashioned tonic, huh?
