This is a wonderful escape! Saint Bernards assist Roman to get out of his enclosed space by removing 6ft fencing

  • CCTV footage showed St Bernards racing to aid brother while he scaled the fence.
  • Roman, the Alpha Male of the Group, is not afraid to climb the 6-foot gate
  • George Piciorus, the owner of Piciorus Garden was stunned to find footage from his garden
  • To prevent dogs injuring their own, he had to take down the gate.










A CCTV camera captured the moment when a group St Bernards helped their brother climb over a 6-foot fence and escape from his enclosure.  

Roman, two years old, initially is seperated from his siblings through a tall gate. Then he attempts climbing the fence with very little hesitation.

They see their brother at the top of the gate and four other St Bernards, named Lilia Zvezda Evita Falkor, rush to Roman’s aid and assist him in descending the railing.  

George Piciorus (42), was stunned when the entire incident occurred while he reviewed his CCTV. 

Roman is the oldest and most senior member of the group. He is also known as the Alpha Male with his private kennel.

Since then, however, Mr Piciorus discovered that Roman would regularly climb the gate without any assistance.

Footage also shows that the St Bernards can help to return him to his private kennel.

Roman’s owner is from Oldbury in Birmingham and has been forced to get a new fence for him.

He had to temporarily close the gate so that Roman wouldn’t injure himself while attempting another daring escape. 

BirminghamLive was told by him that they are smart, but very stubborn. If he needs to, Saints will make it happen. They can be very strong and loving dogs.

“They have great personalities and can be protective and territorial. Sometimes, the others can help him get over it if they need to.

‘It’s only in their nature to help each other whenever they need it. They share a strong bond.
