As he adjusts to a life filled with love, laughter, mischief, and even a porcupine, Scout (now “Barney”) learns what it truly means to be part of a family.\nTold entirely from a dog’s point of view, Barney is a warm, funny, and deeply touching chapter book about growing up, facing change, and finding your place in the world—even if that place is in a backyard flower bed or beside a baby’s crib.\nMore than just a dog story, Barney is a celebration of the unbreakable bond between families and their pets.
