The Book of Barkley

by L.B.Johnson

(5 Stars – 52 Customer Reviews)

Price: $13.95

L.B.Johnson’s “The Book of Barkley.” Bound to his human companion in the name of the trust and not knowing his destiny, this book is about a black Labrador retriever named Barkley. It was the beginning never anticipated; belief that there were no limits that made tragedy inevitable, a gentle nuzzle that made the walls fall away, and the pull of the leash into the day’s infinitude. Honest, transcendent, and beautifully written, The Book of Barkley is a love story that will enrich every animal lover’s library.
