"Prince Jan, St. Bernard" by Forrestine C. Hooker is a children's novel likely written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around a young St. Bernard puppy named Prince Jan, who dreams of following in the noble footsteps of his ancestors—dogs known for saving lives in the treacherous snowy mountains surrounding the Hospice. The narrative sets the stage for themes of duty, identity, and bravery as Jan learns about his heritage and the expectations placed upon him as a rescue dog. The opening portion of the book introduces Prince Jan and his brother, Rollo, as playful puppies who are nurtured by their mother and guided by the wise old dog Bruno. They learn the importance of their role as St. Bernards and the significance of their duty to save lives from snowstorms. Jan is examined by the monks of the Hospice, who express hope that he will prove to be an exceptional rescue dog, like his forebear Barry. As Jan and Rollo embark on their initial lessons in the snowy wilderness, antics and adventures ensue, underscoring their innocence and eagerness to grow into their roles. The tone is lighthearted yet imbued with a sense of responsibility, preparing readers for the challenges and transformations Jan will face as his journey unfolds.
