For many years, the Saint Bernard breed has been associated with the Swiss Alps and rescue efforts. Think of the Saint Bernard with the small flask of brandy around his neck bounding over the mountains to save hikers and travelers in danger; while the rescue parts happened, the jug of brandy was a myth. Today, the Saint Bernard is prized for its inquisitive and playful nature, friendly, intelligent gaze, and large stature.
These videos feature Saint Bernards in surprising ways, starting with a video about the dog with the world's longest tongue. Check out these clips, and learn more about this beautiful breed.

1. Mochi is a world-record holder in more ways than one.
Mochi, a Saint Bernard from South Dakota, was recently awarded the title of Official World's Longest Tongue. Her tongue measured from the tip to her nose (the part that hangs out of her mouth) is 7.inches in length. Mochi is a winner in another significant way, however. Her first owners abused her, hence her tongue hanging out of her mouth due to the paralysis she suffered. Now she has a new home with a loving family who will make sure that Mochi wants for nothing the rest of her life. Watch this moving video about Mochi below.
