This is lovely

I had no idea there's a whole museum just for St. Bernards. The fact that they still keep dogs on the pass for tradition is so heartwarming. Who wouldn't want to visit that?

St. Bernard dogs honored in a museum that bridges the breed’s history with its future

BOURG-SAINT-PIERRE: At the Great St. Bernard Pass high in the Swiss Alps, the eponymous dogs still walk the same mountain paths their ancestors patrolled for hundreds of years to find travelers buried beneath the snow. Down in the valley, a living museum honoring the Swiss national dog’s history — and its future — is marking its first year. More than 130,000 people have visited Barryland, the world’s only space dedicated to St. Bernards, since it opened last summer in Martigny, Switzerland, after outgrowing a much smaller space.

I love that they still keep dogs on the pass out of tradition. Animals have such a special place in our history too. Would love to visit with my family!
