Adorable news out of Oregon where Timberline Lodge’s newest employees are already stealing hearts. Meet Heidi the 10th and Bruno the 12th, Timberline’s new St. Bernard puppies.
Oregon Live reports the littermates were born in early July 2025 and just arrived to Timberline in late August. They will begin regular hours later this month. Heidi will be tasked with greeting guests at the front desk and Bruno will spend his days at the lodge marketing office. Bruno won’t be the only dog by that name working at Timberline as Bruno the 11th, an 8-year-old St. Bernard, will continue on with his job in the human resources office.
St. Bernards have long been a fixture around Timberline going all the way back to the lodge’s first mascots, Hansel and Gretel, roamed the grounds in the early days. Huskies briefly served as mascots the 1950s but St. Bernards returned in the early 1960s and have remained the face of the operations.
Congratulations to Timberline on their newest employees. Can’t wait to meet them!
