Members of the Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team (MRT) went to four-year-old Daisy's aid on Scafell Pike. A team spokesman said Daisy had been showing signs of pain in her legs and was refusing to move.

Friday's operation, which involved 16 members of the MRT, took five hours as rescuers carried Daisy on a stretcher over obstacles including a waterfall.

The spokesman said: "The team rescues canine casualties around a dozen times every year but this was the first time a St Bernard breed has been rescued by the team. Daisy was a four-year-old female but still a massive dog. Daisy was in fact a rescue dog and extremely placid and compliant, which was a bonus for the stretcher-carry off the mountain. It was important to get Daisy off the mountain quickly as the weather was due to deteriorate later that evening."

After a good night's sleep Daisy has made a full recovery.

No details have been released about Daisy's owner.

A St Bernard dog that had to be rescued from England's highest mountain has fully recovered and is back home with her owners.

This story was also on our news today.

Poor dog. Apparently she just lay down, completely exhausted, and refused to go another step.
I wonder why there was no mention of any owners though, that's odd don't you think?

I'm so glad she got the help and treatment she needed.

I'm so pleased Daisy made it back...as for her owners they are probably too ashamed to show their faces.

Especially those big heavy dogs .
Even my hyper active collie is finding the warm days tiring .

The owners are interviewed and shown in the video .....
