A tricolor Bernese Mountain Dog sits on a wooden floor with a broken ceramic vase and pink and red roses scattered around. 24 / 31

The Roses Tumbled Down and the Bernese Looked So Sorry

AI imagebernese mountain dogbroken vaseroses

Roses in pink and red lie scattered across the wooden floor, and a ceramic vase lies cracked into pieces beside a puddle of water. In the middle of it sits a tricolor Bernese Mountain Dog with a thick black coat, white chest and warm rust-colored cheeks. His eyes look up with deep brown sincerity, a little guilty and very sweet. A sofa and a table with framed photos make the room feel homey.

Bernese Mountain Dogs are gentle, affectionate dogs originally bred in the Swiss Alps to pull carts and work on farms. They are known for being calm, patient and devoted to their families, though they are large and strong and can knock things over with a happy wag. Their thick coats need regular brushing, and they do best in cooler weather. Broken pottery is a risk for paws, so sweep up carefully and check his feet before he walks around, and talk to your vet if you see any cuts.

Some flowers, including lilies and certain bulbs, are poisonous to pets, so choose pet-safe bouquets and keep them away from the edge of a table. A calm dog may still bump a stand with his tail.

He gazes up with a face that melts hearts, and he seems to know it. The roses were beautiful, but this big fellow is clearly the star of the room.
