Description
The Saint Bernard is a gentle giant with a heart as enormous as its frame, embodying a serene majesty. They are remarkably patient and affectionate, often forming an exceptionally strong, devoted bond with their family, especially children. While their massive size might intimidate some, their temperament is typically loving and calm, making them surprisingly docile housemates. They are not known for their athleticism but enjoy a good amble, rather than a sprint. Their protective instinct is quietly present; they are keen observers who will stand by their loved ones with unwavering loyalty. However, their size means they are prone to some clumsy moments, and their drool can be legendary, adding to their charming, though sometimes messy, character.
