(CNN)St. Bernard dogs are the ones that traditionally have come to the rescue of humans. But in a reverse of circumstances, humans rescued a St. Bernard after she collapsed while coming down England's highest mountain.With their great sense of direction and resistance to cold, St. Bernards have been saving people in the mountains since the 18th century, according to the They were first bred by monks living in St. Bernard Pass, a dangerous route through the Alps connecting Italy and Switzerland, to help them on rescue missions after heavy snowstorms. Over a span of nearly 200 years, the dogs saved about 2,000 people, according to the magazine. But on Friday evening, it was a 121-pound St. Bernard named Daisy that needed saving from Scafell Pike in North West England after she showed signs of pain in her rear legs and was refusing to move.

But with a number of tactics -- including "plenty of treats" -- the team was able to safely bring Daisy downhill on the stretcher.

"She apparently feels a bit guilty and slightly embarrassed about letting down the image of her cousins bouncing across the Alpine snows with barrels of brandy around their necks," the rescue team joked.
