Even rescue dogs sometimes need a rescue of their own.
The Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team said on Facebook that Daisy, a St. Bernard, had to be rescued Friday from Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain.
The 121-pound dog “collapsed” while descending from the mountain with her owners.
Daisy, who “had a hard start in life” until she was rescued by her current owners a few months ago, is reported to be in good condition after the mountain rescue and in “her usual high spirits.”
“She apparently feels a bit guilty and slightly embarrassed about letting down the image of her cousins bouncing across the Alpine snows with barrels of brandy around their necks,” the rescue group said.

The St Bernard is a breed of large working dogs that were originally bred to rescue people in the Italian and Swiss Alps. They are usually on the other side of such mountain rescues.
“A massive whole 55kg thank you to Daisy St. Bernard who was so well behaved throughout the whole rescue, the perfect casualty you could say,” the rescue group said.
