How Much Dog Hair Does it Take to Heal a Broken Heart?  Jet pilot turned LEO investigator L.B Johnson.thought she had the world by the tail, until a bundle of mayhem disguised as a lab puppy came into her life. After heartbreak as a young teen Mom, and witnessing too much violence for one lifetime, she wasn't going to get too attached to another living creature, but Barkley had other plans for her.
Â
"The Book of Barkley: Love and Life Through the Eyes of a Labrador Retriever" takes readers from the author's depths of grief and loss at a young age to an empowering new life chock-full of love. But Johnson's radical life change didn't come from just her renewed faith in God or from friends, but instead from a black Labrador called Barkley who taught her the real, innate meaning of love.
In a wholly-unique and uplifting new memoir, Johnson tells the deeply-personal story of her life and experiences with a rambunctious Labrador Retriever named Barkley. It's not just a story of one woman and her dog; but a bold journey to discover what love really is, and why learning to live like a dog gives humanity a powerful new meaning.
