In a span of nearly 200 years, the dogs saved some 2,000 people, according to the magazine.

But on Friday night, it was a 121-pound St. Bernard named Daisy who needed to save himself from Scafell Pike in north-west England after he showed signs of pain in his hind legs and refused to move.

The rescue operation took a total of five hours and 16 members of the Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team.

Rescuers put Daisy on a stretcher to safely knock her down Scafell Pike.

Noting that Daisy “had a difficult start in life until she was ‘rescued’ by her current owners a few months ago,” the rescue team said Daisy has since been reported to have returned to her “usual good mood.”

“Apparently she feels a little guilty and a little embarrassed for disappointing the image of her cousins ​​bouncing off the Alpine snows with barrels of brandy around her neck,” the rescue team joked.
