Rocky is a wild one. His name is popular with boxers. It comes from the Italian name “Rocco”, which means “the roaring one”. While in English it can mean stony, rough or difficult. These words also describe the environment that gave rise to the legend of Barry, the most famous St Bernard. Rocky is a descendant of Barry.

Barry lived in the monks’ hospice at the Great St Bernard Pass from 1800 to 1812. Barry is said to have rescued over 40 people. He died of old age in Bern in 1814. His preserved body is still on display in the Natural History Museum in Bern.
