St. Bernard and boy on a raft.

I ask for the help of all. My father in law used to have a print of a painting that portrayed a small boy and a St. Bernard on a raft, the dog looking over the child, hanging on the wall. I am quite sure this was a print. My son loved it, and he was told it was his when Grandpa decided to get rid of it. Well it was a horror story when he became a widower and remarried, and anything that was connected to my wife me or or my kids was thrown into a fire to erase the existence of my father in law’s prior existence. Can anyone out there identify the painting, or where I might get a copy? It is not likely to be considered anywhere above the “Dogs playing cards” thing as art, but it would be a big boost. I have googled but have more hits than I can check. I really want to make this happen. If I could get a print for my son it would be a good thing. Thanks.

Based on the thread title I was expecting something more . . . pornographic . . . :frowning:

(Well, now that’s out of the way!)

So, St. Bernard and a boy are on a raft.

St. Bernard says, “I can’t believe it. Here I spent my entire life in service to the Church, preaching the glory of God, I performed miracles, got canonized, and what happens? People only know me because they gave my name to a dog! What a humiliating legacy! What could possibly be more depressing than that?”

The boy says, “Try getting laid with a name like ‘Huckleberry.’”

Maybe this site could help?

Then there’s this on eBay.

Are you sure your son wouldn’t prefer a picture of a little boy cowering in terror in a car, with a blood-stained St. Bernard trying to break in through the window? A scene from the movie Cujo should be fairly easy to find.

Easy. The dog is, for some reason, always portrayed as carrying a keg of brandy under its chin. :wink:

That looks like it!

The series Belle And Sebastian is what springs to my mind.

That thread title sounds like one of those “work code” things diner servers are supposed to yell into the kitchen in the back. Sounds like ity should be a footy-long hot dog and a small something else on a roll. An alternative, maybe, to “Adam and Eve on a Raft”.

Thank you Guinastasia! The E-Bay item is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again.

I have this print, can anyone help me with info, cant get hold of seenindog.

I’m pretty sure seenidog got his print nearly four years ago.

I’ve never heard ‘Saint Bernard on a raft!’

I’ve only heard ‘Jumpin’ Jesus on a raft!’

EDIT: Out of curiosity, does anyone have a link to an image of the OP’s painting?

I was totally not expecting this topic from the title.

Which reminds me of my original question when I saw it: If a loyal dog and his master were trapped on a raft, would the dog eventually attack the master and eat him or are some dogs loyal enough to not do that? I know I’ve heard of dogs eating their owners after they died and the dogs are trapped in the house, but what if they’re both alive?
