St. Bemard dogs have been used for many years in the Swiss Alps. The dogs have been trained to rescue people lost in the mountains. The most famous St. Bernard rescue dog was Barry.
One day, the wind in the Alps began to howl. The snow fell faster and faster. Suddenly, a deep rumbling sound could be heard. A great avalanche began!
Soon, the radio announced the news. A little boy was lost! "Barry, come! A little boy is lost in the snow. We must find him quickly!" "Bark! Bark!"

"Come on, Barry! Let's find that little boy!" "Bark! Bark!" Barry and his master struggled against the wind and snow. Finally, Barry's master was too cold. He could not go any farther up the mountain.
"Brr! The snow is too terrible and too deep for me." Suddenly, the master realized that he could not see Barry. "Barry! Barry! Where are you? Oh, no! I have lost him!" The harsh storm made the master unable to see very far ahead.
Finally, the master found some lights in the woods. "I have to rest in that nearby cabin. Then, I will have more energy to start searching, again." Barry's master began to walk toward the cabin.
