Proving that statement in error. St. Bernard of Clairvaux was on earth before the St. Bernard dog.....just a little google got the facts.

St. Bernard of Clairvaux
Born in 1090, at Fontaines, near Dijon, France; died at Clairvaux, 21 August, 1153.

St. Bernard dog
The earliest written records of the St. Bernard breed are from monks at the hospice at the Great St. Bernard Pass in 1707, with paintings and drawings of the dog dating even earlier.[4]
