This stunning piece is at such an unbelievable offer that it would be crazy to refuse!  Don't miss your chance of having that amazing bronze sculpture!!!   Sometime between 1660 and 1670, the monks at Great St. Bernard Hospice acquired their first St. Bernards—descendants of the mastiff style Asiatic dogs brought over by the Romans—to serve as their watchdogs and companions. (The earliest depiction of the breed was in two paintings done by well-known Italian artist Salvatore Rosa in 1695.) Although in legend casks of liquor were strapped around the dogs' collars to warm up travelers, no historical records exist that document this practice. But another legend was very real: famous St. Bernard, Barry, who lived in the monastery from 1800-1812, saved the lives of more than 40 people. In 1815, Barry's body was put on exhibit at the Natural History Museum in Berne, Switzerland, where it remains today.                                                                                                      BID IT NOW!!!!!!!                                                                                                                                                                                                          DIMENSIONS                                                                                                      62" x 16" x 38"H                                                                                                       CONDITION                                                                                                                                                 NEW!!                                                         PACKING/SHIPPING/INSURANCE INCLUDED:                                                                                             SAME IN ALL 48 STATES                                                                                          $199.99     Place a Bid!
