  I’m pet dog Barry and this is my website. A dog with a website? Yeah! I’m a very special dog, and I’d like to invite you to share my passions!

Summer and the holidays are around the corner. Everybody wants to enjoy the nice warm weather: hiking up at the mountains, going to the beach or to the countryside. But if you spend your holidays at home you may also have a good time going to the cinema, cycling, or simply strolling around the city you live in.

Since June is my birthday's month, the subject I chose is about the Dog family, and I invite you to make a visit to a dog or wolf rescue center like The Wolf Watch Sanctuary in the UK, and The Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary in the USA. There you'll be able to watch and get information about these amazing animals, both in the wild and in captivity. You may also like to learn about herding dogs, and know that herding livestock is one of the oldest jobs for dogs, either to protect the crops from the sheep, or to protect the sheep from predators, among them the wolf that curiously shares a common ancester with the dog.

The Dog family being the theme of June, sure enough the story of the month is about a dog, a funny dog BTW. This is a true story, and its title is Penguin and the Fig Tree.

As a good summer reading book, I’d suggest you go to Barry's shop and make your choice. You’d rather read a book in a foreign language? No problem. At Barry4kids you find books also in other languages, a few of them with awards.

Don’t forget to check out the games and a few other activities. Even if you stay at home you may travel through the world with the links to the zoos, natural parks and reserves.

Have great summer holidays and visit Barry4kids again soon, because new features and activities will be introduced in the meantime.

Your four-legged friend.
