A red and white Saint Bernard sits beside a table with one paw up, gazing at a roast turkey and side dishes. 22 / 22

The Turkey Was Carved and Ready. The Saint Bernard Was Already Waiting.

AI imagesaint bernardthanksgivingturkey

The table is a banquet of golden turkey, rolls, cranberries, sweet potatoes and more, and a large red and white Saint Bernard named Bruno sits right beside it with one big white paw resting on the wood. His dark ears hang heavy, his drooping lips relax, and his eyes look steadily at the turkey. A glass of water, a linen napkin and a bright kitchen fill the background.

Saint Bernards are huge, gentle dogs, famous for their calm temperament and patience with children. Their size means they can reach the table without trying, so it is smart to keep food pushed back and teach a reliable down and stay. They also drool, so a towel nearby is a good idea during mealtime. Because of their size, they can also overheat in warm rooms, so a cool spot and fresh water are important. Turkey skin, drippings and bones are not safe for dogs, so any treat for him should be a plain, dog-safe one. Large breeds benefit from a measured amount of food, and your vet can advise on his diet.

Bruno does not grab or beg. He simply looks, and that large, gentle face does the rest. On this table, there is likely enough love and food to go around, and a gentle giant is always welcome at the feast.
