In 1820, Landseer, a 17-year-old painter from England, produced a work titled Alpine Mastiffs Reanimating a Distressed Traveler. The painting portrays two Saint Bernards standing over a fallen traveler, one dog barking in alarm, the other attempting to revive the traveler by licking his hand. The dog doing the licking has a barrel strapped around its neck, which Landseer claimed contains brandy. Despite the fact that [...] the dogs never carried such barrels, the collar keg stuck in the public's imagination and the image has endured. Twenty minute walk after work. Saw a couple of ducks. Read a chapter of Three Musketeers. Breakfast: carrots, spinach, yogurt, coffee Lunch: pork and noodles Dinner: pizza
