Barney, The Big Brown Dog!
Barney, an orphaned dog looking to find his new family
by
Patrice A. LeMoine
The touching story by Patrice LeMoine beautifully shows the connection that forms between a family and a furry friend they did not expect. As Barney’s quest goes on, he gently finds his place in the world. His story shows how powerful love, patience, and the unbreakable bond between people and their four-legged friends can be.
Literary Titan gave Barney The Big Brown Dog a Five-Star Review! Priscilla Evans, Managing Editor, summarized the story as follows: "Barney, The Big Brown Dog is a heartwarming tale that resonates with readers of all ages. It’s a story of resilience, love, and the simple yet profound desire for belonging. From start to finish, Barney’s journey is one that will stay with readers long after they turn the final page." She also adds, "the book is further enhanced by the vibrant illustrations of Ms. Popp. Her colorful, expressive artwork breathes life into Barney’s adventures, making each page a delight to explore. Readers will find themselves grinning at Barney’s endearing expressions and laughing at his playful antics." "This is a heartwarming tale, where a family meets Barney, an orphaned brown Labrador. Barney is saved from an uncertain future and begins a new chapter finding love and belonging." from Suzanne M. LeMoine, Sunshine Golden Rescue
Patrice LeMoine is a lifelong resident of Connecticut with a career in non-profit and for-profit organizations. She received her bachelor's degree in business administration, with a minor in computer science, from Albertus Magnus College. Her eldest brother became blind at a very young age. Eventually over the years, his many Seeing Eye dogs were introduced to the family, and the family gained a new respect for guide dogs, particularly German Shepherds. This love for animals led Patrice’s sisters to dedicate their time to animal rescue shelters. Her twin sister, Suzanne, volunteered her time with rescue and foster care services for Golden Retrievers and Labradors, which is when she introduced Patrice and her family to Barney! Patrice has volunteered for a number of local charities and continues to serve as recording secretary to local boards and commissions in the community; more recently, she volunteers by reading with elementary students and is a board member at Bloom Academy in Las Vegas, a micro-school for special children. Patrice is the mother of a wonderful son and resides in Cheshire with her sister’s rescue pups Rose and Bailey and the owner of two precious rescue cats, Abner and Babe.
