Barry—the most famous St. Bernard dog in history, tells the story of his life for the first time. Eight-thousand feet above sea level, in the treacherous pass in the Alps between Italy and Switzerland, the monks of the hospice of St. Bernard have, since the 11th century, kept dogs to help them rescue travelers lost in the snow. In time, these dogs became a breed unto themselves, named for the hospice. They are responsible for helping over 2,000 travelers who might otherwise have frozen to death. With great modesty, Barry tells not just about his own heroic exploits (saving over 40 lives, including that of a 12-year-old boy frozen in a cave), but about his daily life in the hospice, his close relationship with the brothers who train him, and about the other hospice hounds with whom he teams up to guide lost travelers and save lives. With realistic black-and-white illustrations by Tim Jessell—plus an appendix with information about St. Bernards, the Great St. Bernard Hospice, and much, more—Barry's tale is perfect for dog-crazy middle-grade readers!

Thank you Kate Klimo for your amazing work on this series!! From: one very happy grandma! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ daughter loved this book! *by K***R on February 27, 2014* My 10 yr old daughter had to do report on a historical fiction book. She wasn't finding a book she wanted to read (they were mostly about people and she isn't interested in people, only animals), so off to search Amazon I went and found this book. She loved the book, it has sad parts, but that's how life is in reality. Plus the fact that it fit the teacher's criteria and my daughter's criteria was a HUGE benefit! ## Frequently Bought Together - Dog Diaries #3: Barry - Dog Diaries #2: Buddy - Dog Diaries #1: Ginger --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/7173060-dog-diaries-3-barry](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/7173060-dog-diaries-3-barry) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
