Barry (1800 - 1814) was a famous St. Bernard dog that worked as a mountain rescue dog. He lived at the monastery at the Great St Bernard Pass near the Swiss-Italian border and was responsible for saving over 40 lives.

Barry's body is preserved and on display at the Natural History Museum in Berne, Switzerland. In addition, a monument to him is located at the entrance to the Cimetière des Chiens pet cemetery in Paris.
