Talk about a role reversal in life. 16 volunteers who work with the Wasdale mountain rescue team in England after getting advice from a veterinarian on how to rescue a 121 pound Saint Bernard named Daisy who due to pain in her legs was not able to come down Scafell Pike which is the tallest peak in England.
Daisy was traveling with her owners down the pike when she could not walk anymore due to her aging body not being able to walk anymore.
The owners of Daisy managed to get some assistance from the mountain rescue team who spent five hours using a stretcher to take Daisy for a ride down the pike to her owners after she was given a meal to make her feel better for the journey.
Daisy is in good spirits after she was reunited with her owners on Saturday.
The rule of life with Saint Bernard dogs is that they are known to rescue persons in trouble.

I agree with you since Daisy seems to a dog that is up in age based on what I saw of my late dogs when they are up there in age.

@DianneN I know what you mean since it was sobering to see my last dog not being able to walk in her senior years.

I am sure that Daisy will be able to walk again even though she will likely be doing shorter walks this time.

@Deepizzaguy I can certainly understand her having shorter walks.

Oh, a St. Bernard is a huge dog. This reminds me of our 13-year old do who is slow in walking because of age.

@Deepizzaguy that dog needs 4 people to be carried.

I agree with you since the dog had a hard time walking after a while.

That is very true since Saint Bernard dogs are well known for rescuing people in need,

I agree with you the dog was in pain just walking with her owner up the hill.

I'm so glad they were able to rescue Daisy and return her to her owners. Maybe they won't push this older dog to walk further than she can manage next time!

I am sure that Daisy's owners will learn to take it easy on her next time.
