Barking Mad is a story of friendship , a true story of two inseparable friends, a lad and a dog. What the story is not, is a diary of events, for it is a product of recollections from childhood. Recollections of adventures, experiences and events, as seen through the eyes of a young lad - a boy of his time.
As described in an unsolicited citation: "It made me laugh. It made me cry. A great mix of emotions, places and events. Fear - intrigue - sadness - anticipation and joy. The wildlife. The open moors, to the contrasting city life. Then there was the bullet incident - that had me laughing out loud! it had me gripped till the early hours."
