The Saint Bernards work best in teams of at least three dogs. They are sent out on patrols following storms, and they wander the paths looking for stranded travelers.

Meanwhile, another dog will have already started back to the hospice to sound the alarm.

Our reverence for workaholism has produced corporate leaders who believe they don't need sleep, and neither should anyone else.
