Jim Kjelgaard had long wanted to tell the story of the gallant dogs who went out with the monks of St. Bernard Hospice to rescue travelers lost in the deep snows of the Swiss mountain passes. Unable to find the facts, he decided to reconstruct the tale as he felt it might have been. The result is this very moving story of a simple mountain boy and his devoted dog.
