Saint Bernard Puppies

Six fifteen-day-old Saint Bernard puppies sleep in a box at the breeding kennel of the Barry Foundation in the south-western Swiss town of Martigny June 4, 2009. In 2005 the non-profit Barry Foundation took over the breeding kennel from the Hospice at the Great Saint Bernard mountain pass (2473 metres/8114 ft. altitude) to continue the 300-year-old tradition of breeding the famous dogs, which return to their origin on the mountain pass during the summer months.REUTERS/Arnd Wiegmann (SWITZERLAND ANIMALS SOCIETY ENVIRONMENT)
