One scruffy shelter dog. Two lonely hearts. And a Valentine's Day mission powered by paws, persistence, and plenty of mischief. Barnaby is a lovable "mix of everything" terrier with lopsided ears, a crooked tail, and a heart full of hope. After months at the Sleepy Pines Animal Shelter, he finally finds his forever home with Mr. Miller—a kind but lonely man who's forgotten how to laugh. Determined to protect his human's heart, Barnaby takes on his most important mission yet: finding Mr. Miller true love. When Barnaby meets Ms. Reed, the gentle librarian with peppermint tea and the warmest smiles in town, he knows she's the missing piece. With the Sweetheart Festival fast approaching, Barnaby launches a series of hilarious "accidental" encounters—stolen scarves, tangled leashes, runaway balloons, and chaotic canine matchmaking. But will his scruffy plans bring love together… or send Valentine's Day completely off-leash? Perfect for readers who love heartwarming animal stories, gentle humor, and feel-good romance, Barnaby's Big Bark at Love is a charming tale about loyalty, second chances, and how sometimes the smallest heroes have the biggest hearts. Ideal for fans of A Dog's Purpose and wholesome family fiction.
