The Book Of Barkley: Love And Life Through The Eyes Of A Labrador Retriever

L.B. Johnson knew how to get things done. She had been immersed in a world of complex puzzles, and tangled story lines of physical and governmental laws. She was quite sure she was up to the task of raising a black Labrador retriever puppy. His name was Barkley, and in being himself, he led his owner down a path of joyful discovery, loving frustration, and self-sacrifice. Their journey together will speak volumes to anyone who has ever had a beloved animal as a heart's companion?rom the gentle nuzzles that healed in moments of crisis, to the saintly patience needed to deal with a small pink ball with feet, named ?r. Squeaky,?who interrupted many hours of sleep. It is the story of rambunctious trespasses such as ?he bacon incident,?and the loving trust that bound a woman and her dog together in unspoken understanding. The Book of Barkley is a tribute and memoir that will resonate with everyone who has reached out unthinking to pet a beloved animal?nly to remember that a beloved friend is no longer present. Honest, transcendent, and beautifully written, The Book of Barkley is a love story that will enrich every animal lover's library.
