'Embarrassed' St. Bernard Rescued By Team Of 16 From England's Tallest Mountain

Daisy the St. Bernard is apparently feeling a little “embarrassed” after she was the subject of a five-hour rescue mission during her descent from England’s highest peak, according to her rescuers.

The 121-pound pooch comes from a working breed that has, for centuries, been known for its prowess in alpine rescues. But on this occasion, it was Daisy who needed saving, after she collapsed while descending from the summit of Scafell Pike in England’s northwest on Friday during a hike with her owners. She was displaying signs of pain in her rear legs and refusing to move, the Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team said in a Facebook post about the mission.

She looks like Queen For A Day!

Good girl.

Sounds like big dog joint issues.

Poor doggie, soldiered on probably when she was in a lot of pain.

I hope Daisy gets some good vet care.

But in fourth grade, a St. Bernard would show up at recess to play with the kids. Huge dog but gentle and playful and loved the attention. They're good mutts.
