Video of Daisy's nearly 5-hour rescue shows a team carrying the roughly 120-pound St. Bernard on a stretcher.
An"adorable" St. Bernard dog with rear leg pain was rescued from England's highest peak on Friday, emergency officials said.
A group of 16 rescuers at Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team got the call that the dog needed help and quickly consulted with local veterinarians on how best to retrieve her. Daisy's owners kept her hydrated and fed as the team made it to their location. Once they made contact, rescuers greeted Daisy and gave her treats so they could give her pain medicine, too."It had become quickly apparent that Daisy’s cooperation was going to be essential if we were to make progress as Daisy made sure we knew that if she didn’t want to do something, she wasn’t going to do it," rescuers said.
First bred in the Alps by monks, St. Bernard dogs were bred as"powerful working dogs able to locate and rescue luckless travelers buried by drifts and avalanches," thesays. The monks operated lodging for pilgrims traveling to Rome as they crossed a treacherous mountain pass, named Great St. Bernard Pass.
