Barley has it rough at first, then he finds a good home with a couple who follow the man from Galilee. Thru an unexpected turn of events Barely finds himself alone on the outskirts of Jerusalem. There he sees âJesusâ up-close and personal. Barley calls him âThe kind man.â
He notices how people treat âthe teacher from Galileeâ (that's what his master called him). Some people loved him and tried to apply his teachings to their lives. Others wanted to harm him. Barely watched this man share a love he hadn't witness before.
A woman explains how Barley's not desperate like some people she knew. âPrisca laughs and says, âthis little one doesn't despair.â She rubs Barley's belly. âHe's always looking for the next good thing. A hand to lick, some food to chomp, a stuck to fetch, a sight to see, a friend to curl up next to.â
The retelling of the greatest story ever told will have you see familiar events with fresh eyes. It's an endearing and inspirational tale dealing with themes of forgiveness, struggles to survive, ordinary people facing hard situations with a new-found courage and experience an unforgettable love. I liked how this author put in a few surprises for readers along this dog's journey thru Jerusalem. Barley is a charmer, he grows on you. You'll be moved by what he sees and how he interprets it. I liked how this novel was written through Barely the dog's eyes.
