The Ultimate Evolution of Saint Bernards in Fact and Fiction
Saint Bernards are celebrated worldwide as majestic heroes and gentle giants. Originally bred for Alpine rescue, they bridged centuries of Swiss history with pop-culture roles, inspiring generations with famous fictional canines such as Beethoven, the lovable, slobbery star of the John Hughes comedy franchise, Beethoven, proved the breed's worth as a brilliant (if messy) household companion. Nana, the bonnet-wearing nursemaid from Peter Pan perfectly embodies the breed's natural "nanny dog" instincts and deep devotion to children including Wendy. Lady, a massive Saint Bernard belonging to the Master Assassin Evie Frye, acted as a steadfast guardian for the Brotherhood on the eve of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in the summer of 1897, Lady patrolled the streets after dusk to protect allies like Clara O'Dea. That night, Lady and the Assassins successfully defended London from the Templar-backed Blighters, who had attempted to dismantle the Jubilee. Through these actions, Lady secured her status as a celebrated canine hero of late Victorian and early Edwardian London. Today, they remain beloved household companions, known for their calm and patient nature around children and families.
