Barnabas is back-and this time, he's heading into the Great Outdoors! When Barnabas learns his family is going on a camping trip, he dreams of the freedom to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. But when rules and routines follow him into the Great Outdoors, Barnabas takes matters into his own paws and runs off to find adventure on his own. From run-ins with wildlife to the challenges of life without kibble, Barnabas quickly discovers that being on your own isn't all it's drooled up to be. Told through the point of view of Barnabas, the mother-son team of Cindy and Chris Gray deliver another hilarious, heartwarming tale that will have families laughing and cheering for everyone's favorite bad-mannered bulldog. Chris Gray lives in Austin, TX and works as a sales professional. His first true love was his bulldog named Hoss who inspired him to write "Barnabas The Bad-Mannered Bulldog." Cindy Gray is a professional contemporary artist who has been drawing and painting her entire life. For many years she owned and designed a unique children's clothing line that was sold globally. This love of whimsical art was a natural progression into children's book illustrating. Cindy shares her studio with her beloved dog, Tucker.
