A Saint Bernard Puppy Sat Perfectly Still Among the Tulips

AI imagesaint bernardtulipsspring

Among rows of red, white and pink tulips, a single Saint Bernard puppy sits with his big white paws together and his head slightly tilted. His dark mask makes him look serious, his brown ears are soft and floppy, and his fluffy chest is as white as the petals around him. A wooden fence and a stand of trees stretch out behind the garden.

Spring gardens are beautiful, but tulips and several other bulbs can be harmful to dogs if chewed or dug up, with the bulbs generally the most worrying part. If your puppy likes to dig, it is wise to fence off flower beds and watch your dog around them. If your pup has eaten any part of a plant, call your vet or an animal poison hotline straight away.

Saint Bernards were bred for the snowy Alps and tend to be big, calm dogs who are happier in cool weather. A spring day like this one is perfect for a young pup, and a puppy this age will gladly sit among flowers for a while before it is tempted to explore. Teaching a puppy to sit and stay early helps keep a big dog under control in the garden.

For now he is perfectly behaved. He sits like a statue among the tulips, with a look that says he knows exactly how handsome he is.
