Excitement and snuggles!
I love this book. It's heartwarming and very exciting. I can't wait to have my granddaughter read about Barry! She loves dogs and also facts and this book has both. Great read for adults and children 👏. Thank you Kate Klimo for your amazing work on this series!! From: one very happy grandma!

daughter loved this book!
My 10 yr old daughter had to do report on a historical fiction book. She wasn't finding a book she wanted to read (they were mostly about people and she isn't interested in people, only animals), so off to search Amazon I went and found this book. She loved the book, it has sad parts, but that's how life is in reality. Plus the fact that it fit the teacher's criteria and my daughter's criteria was a HUGE benefit!

The big furry teddy bear!!
I chose this rating because it was such a great book. It had a lot of good information in it, for any child who had to do a book report on this kind of dog. I loved this book very much, it had HAPPY and sad parts in it, which made you want to keep reading it. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves dogs.

Wonderful but very sad book
My daughter loves this series. I love how they are based on true stories. But, this story is incredibly sad. It was very difficult for my daughter (2nd grade) to handle. She still loved the book and learned a lot from it, but spent much time in tears.

Great but could be a bit more child friendly
My little girl loved this book but she got to sad when there was the stabbing bit and when Michael died. She thought that having that job as a dog would be to heart breaking for her. Seeing people dead every day poor Barry! Getting stabbed poor Barry! Just a bit too much happing

Stocking Filler!
Bought as a Christmas gift for a St Bernard fan. Fun read, even if the ending of the hero (in the book) isn't quite what happened to the dog! Beautifully illustrated. Particularly liked the additional information about the stuffed Barry that is in the museum in Bern. Interesting addition to any St Bernard fan's collection. Would have liked it better as a hardback!
