Book Giveaway: Barney the Farm Dog, A True Story

November 13, 2015

Barney, the Farm Dog

Disclosure: We received this book for review purposes only. Any and all opinions are my own.

After her husband was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Mary Lynn Swiderski began learning stories about his farm animals and time as a farmer. Together, before his death, they published the children’s book: “Barney the Farm Dog, A True Story” which shares a story of her husband Vic and his Saint Bernard dog.

Not only is the messaging of the book fun for all ages, but it was also published to bring awareness to multiple sclerosis. Partial proceeds from this book will be donated to the Michigan Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Enjoy this fun story of life on the farm with Barney and his interactions with the other farm animals, with engaging illustrations by Diana Grenier. Children will definitely enjoy this adorable short story.
