In the Swiss alps large dogs (including the bulky Saint Bernard) were trained as alpine rescue animals. They were trained to find people lost in the snow storms and avalanches (something dogs are naturally inclined to do anyways, as a hunting instinct). They were outfitted with little casks of liquor that the lost person could suck from. The medicinable qualities of liquor in such a situation is questionable. Perhaps it made the victums feel warm (eventhough it really doesn't) or maybe it just made them feel that life was actuall worth living and they would give it a second try - sort of thing.
