It's important to have a reliable buddy when you're headed up the mountain.

This image from the 1940s shows two St. Bernard dogs on the Grouse Mountain chairlift. The larger dog is Brandy and the smaller is Whiskey. Brandy was famous as the mascot for Grouse Mountain and often seen riding up and down the lifts.
