The Bernese Mountain Dog is one of four Swiss dog breeds known as Sennenhund (alpine herding dogs), that were developed from mastiffs brought to the Alps by Roman soldiers more than 2,000 year. In addition to the Bernese, there is the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Appenzeller Mountain Dog, and the Entlebucher Mountain Dog. The name for the Bernese Mountain Dog comes from the Canton of Bern in Switzerland, where the breed was developed, and officially established in 1912.

If treated appropriately and allowed to stretch their legs outdoors, the Bernese are typically a well-mannered breed that is good with children and other dogs.

The historic Louisville Public Library Building, constructed in 1908. The structure includes classic greek and roman building elements, in a style known as Beaux Arts. This style developed in France in the 1830s. Funding for the original building came from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, as part of Andrew Carnegie’s philanthropic initiative to fund free public libraries throughout the United States.

The emphasis of the word “Library” in roman-like style is what drew me to this particular building. Located in Kentucky’s largest city.
