Hi my name is Sue I have just rescued my second Saint Bernard that I have called Jenny. My first was Sebastion he had a great temperment at first but because he was so ill treated and so over weight when we first got him he had to have two operations on his back legs because his ligerments snapped. Lucky I always have my dogs insured but because both the opperations were done so close together he turned nasty. The vet said it was caused by all the gas he had to have because of the X rays and the opperations. Of course we kept him and loved him he was our boy he never hurt me but he would bite anyone else. We had him from when he was 19 months old until 11/11/2000 poppy day when he died, he was 10 years 11 months. It is good to rescue a dog but look at the dog and see if there is anything wrong with it be very very careful.
