BARk Magazine, have you seen it?

[Kater]

While in the Whole Foods checkout line yesterday I spied a doggie magazine I hadn't seen before...it's called "BARk: Dog is my co-pilot." Well, I just had to buy the Winter issue with the beautiful Husky and Kelpie duo on the cover! Really GORGEOUS!

I have really enjoyed the issue, much more than other doggie magazines I've seen! One of my favorite aspects is of the magazine is that it's not just about purebred dogs coming from breeders --- it highlights the uniqueness of the mutt and praises the hard work of rescuers. I will list some of the table of contents below and those of you interested might want to go out and buy a copy....

I've seen it then again I see a lot of magazines (comes with the job ya know ) it's a pretty cool mag and when it comes in which is every quarter (every three months) or so I take some time to read it, then again I take time to read all the dog mags even the couple of british mags that we get.

I just did a search for "Bark Magazine" on PetTalk because I wanted to see if any of you had seen it--I think I'm going to subscribe!

[DogLover9501]

I can't subscribe because nobody in this house uses credit cards

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

I totally need to subscribe! Maybe that's what I will ask for for my birthday... a three-year subscription to the Bark Mag! *Grins*
