The Saint Bernard Legend
 Anna, our Alaska mascot |
Since the 11th century, Saint Bernards have been used to guide - and rescue - travelers in the Swiss Alps. Their ability to maneuver through deep snow and sense avalanches, and their instinct to dig for survivors made them perfect for the job. The legendary barrel tied beneath their necks held brandy to sustain the rescued. Over the past 200 years, Saint Bernards have rescued more than 2,000 people. Barry is perhaps the most famous Saint Bernard. From 1800 to 1812, he lived at a hospice run by monks at the summit of Saint Bernard Pass in the Swiss Alps. During that time, he rescued more than 40 people. |
Similar to these great heros, we believe it's our job to help guide Alaskans through their personal injury cases. It's for this reason we've adopted these amazing dogs as our mascot. |
