On a windy day, unannounced, Nicky’s favorite uncle, Uncle Everton, knocks on the door. He’s going on a trip around the world and he has a surprise for Nicky. In one hand, he held a leash. At the other end of the leash was… Barkus, Uncle Everton’s very big brown dog. He’d be staying with Nicky!

Barkus does not like travel, but he sure does love Nicky.  The two make a great pair – Barkus can sit quietly, jump and whirl, and even go to school! He’s the perfect house guest.
