Barkley is a Lhasa Apso who is very good at getting into trouble, but who also has a cuddly side. Come Home, Barkley is about his adventures when he's lost and trying to find his family again. Some are funny, some are scary, some are sad, but all are good reading. "LOST! The whiskery-face, burr-covered dog sat beside the road wondering which way to go. He wanted Jamie. He wanted to go home. Ever since Barkley escaped from the wired cage at the airport, he's been lost and alone. . . and scared. More than anything, he wanted his master, Jamie. But he had walked everywhere and Jamie was nowhere to be found. If only the frightened dog could hear Jamie's familiar voice calling, 'Come Home, Barkley'."
