THE DOG WHO LOST HIS BARK

Narrator Gary Furlong establishes a tender voice for Oz, a young pup whose owner restricts his food when he barks or misbehaves. When a little boy named Patrick adopts him, they both have new opportunities to grow through their friendship. Patrick helps Oz find his voice again, and Oz helps Patrick learn to cope with the separation of his father and mother. Furlong creates emotional tones and pauses during the intense dialogue between Patrick and his father while his father is away in Australia. Listeners will fall in love with Oz and cheer him and Patrick on as they make their way through difficult times while depending on each other for support.
