From playful pups to purring felines, Barbara Benninger's life as a wife, mother, grandmother, farmer, nurse, and lawyer always included furry companions. Riding Cocoa, her beloved quarter horse, and caring for countless dogs and cats, she instilled a deep love for animals in her children. Now, she shares heartwarming stories of these companions, hoping to spark joy and encourage kids who may not have the opportunity to live with and enjoy such a variety of pets.
One such tale features Zane, Beach Road's resident "barksmith." This tricolored sheltie, though small in stature, possesses a voice that can serenade (or frustrate, depending on your perspective). But when Zane's yapping turns heroic, his barks alert his owner to danger, proving that even the smallest hero can have the biggest impact—and reminding us that sometimes the loudest voice comes from the most unexpected place.
Saddle up for another episode of The Author Roundup as we sit down for a delightful conversation with Barbara where talks about growing up in the farm, her love for animals, and her latest children’s book, Zane’s Bark Saved the Day.
