Embarrassed St. Bernard Rescued By Team Of 16 From Englands Tallest Mountain
The 121-pound pooch feels a bit guilty for letting down the image of her St. Bernard cousins, her rescuers joked.
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 Englands 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 Englands 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.
After Daisys owners contacted authorities, a 16-person rescue team was mobilized to help bring her to safety, armed with medical guidance from local veterinarians.
