How to Fall In Love with an Animal

About the Book

One evening while lying on our sofa watching the news on our television, the story was broadcasted describing the torture of various animals. It made me sick. From that point on, I decided to sit down and write this book, “How to Fall in Love with an Animal.” Without going into great detail, I felt that it was necessary to be able to share my families’ personal experiences, even though some of them were very painful, but there are some that ended in a happy ending. My story is in regards to our happy animals alongside stories that are sickening and disturbing, from individuals who do not value the life of an animal. There is always someone to blame for this pain. We as human beings are more than capable of being able to love an animal. As a matter of fact, this book will help you believe that you can make your life more cheerful and comfortable when adopting an animal. I realize that in the world today there is so much hate and evilness that follows, and there is very little that I can do besides making monthly donations that will help aid in the rescue of thousands of neglected animals. I wish with all my heart that I could do more, and I hope by writing this book that it would inspire you and help you become a better person. The love we have for our animals happens to be displayed throughout my book. I hope this book will touch a soft place in your heart. Remember, animal life is not over until we decide it’s not worth hanging on to. We all must keep remembering that we are all children of God, whether it be human beings or animals.

About the Author

My name is Barbara Gail Barker. I was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. I have acquired, over the years, numerous things where I have found great joy, especially writing this book. Today I reside in Maumelle, Arkansas since 1996.

I have always been a very passionate person who attempts to believe that there is good in every individual, but I have to face the reality that it is just a dream of mine.

I live with my husband, who has been by my side since 1974. We married in January 1977. Following that marriage, we became the parents of a beautiful daughter. It was eight years later that our son was born in 1985. Our children are grown, and we are the proud grandparents of a beautiful granddaughter from my daughter and two adorable twins from my son. Throughout the years, we have always taught them the value of animal life. Today, their belief comes in the form of beauty and goodness and their love and hopes are joined with ours.

I graduated from Ole Main High School in 1977, where I met my husband. As a child growing up, I always found goodness in everything and everyone. I was only a child when those thoughts entered my mind, but I grew older and have come to realize there is more evil than I ever anticipated.

Today I am still married to the same man whom I could not live without. He is our pillar in which we have built our goodwill on.

I am deeply concerned about the world we live in today. We all know that our time will come to an end, and I hope that you listen to my own words throughout this book, and hopefully, it will bring out a transformation in you. We all can change, but we have to be willing to change and hope that that change will last with us forever.
