Barry of the Great St. Bernard (1977)


Buena Vista Distribution
Directed by Frank Zuniga
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Walt Disney)

A boy training at a remote hospice in the Swiss Alps becomes attached to one of the dogs. He clashes with the dog trainer who thinks he should treat all the dogs the same. After a couple of years, the dogs are put through rigorous tests to see if they are ready. The special dog, the famous Barry, proves to be worthy of the boy's attention and performs several dozen rescues over his lifetime. However, when he must rescue his master things don't go as smoothly. Entertaining docudrama from Disney with excellent location photography in Switzerland.
