Why 200 years after his death, is this huge dog so famous? swissinfo.ch Inhale the truth between many legends surrounding Bari, the famous Saint Bernard dog. If the word "Barry" is mentioned to a Swiss, it may be related to St. Peter's dog. Bernard, who saved 40 people in the mountains (including rescuing a half-frozen child and put him on his back to take him to a safe place), came before death after the attack on the spear of a Napoleon troop, which would have confused him with the wolf.

The truth is that Barry died in Bern in 1814, and he is tired, two years after being shot down by a French soldier, near the border between Switzerland and Italy. A servant of the monastery directed the pure dog to the Swiss capital. The reasons for this decision are a mystery. Nussbaumer, author of "The Barry of the Great St. Bernard", believes that the famous dog, after his attack at the age of 12, was to play an educational role "as in superstition", and published the work of the Augustinians from his Alpine residences. In fact, when Barry dies, his character appears to be already known. In 1816, Friedrich Meissner, professor of natural history in Bern, wrote: "I think it is good and comfortable to think that
this faithful dog, who saved many lives, will not be quickly forgotten after his death."
