It depends which Saint Bernard you are talking about.

St. Bernard of Clarivaux is patron saint of beekeepers, bees, candlemakers, chandlers, Gibraltar, Queens College Cambridge, wax-melters, and wax refiners.

St. Bernard of Menthon is patron saint of the Alps, Alpinists, mountain climbers, mountaineers, skiers, and travelers in the mountains.

There may be other Saint Bernards as well.

They were rescue dogs in the Alps, in Switzerland. They would find a victim buried deep in the snow after an avalanche, and try to warm him/her up.
