Way Looking For Barney
By LYNN HUGHES
They say that dogs afe man's best
friend; and to a Tulsa, Okla., man, his
240-pound St. Bernard, Barney, is
irreplaceable. " ~
And it is because of Barney, who was
stolen from his home Jan, 11, that Ronald
11. Kirkpatrick has closed his building
business in Tulsa to conduct a search for
his friend.
Kirkpatrick was in Baytown Wednes-
day to continue his quest to find his dog,
which is a family pet and worth more
-than money to him; v-—
There is also a white spot on the top of his
right hipbone and the last half of his tail
is white. He stands about 37 inches tall at
his back.
Kirkpatrick said he had "reason tor
believe’' someone took the dog from his
yard on the night of Janf.-ll and came to
Baytown with the animal. He said the
man he suspects was in Tulsa working
Jan. 10 about Tour , miles from the
Kirkpatrick home and the suspect return
ed to Baytown around Jan, 15. ‘ '
Barney is "veiry friendly” and good
with children, and was raised in the

Tulsa area looking for Barney,”
Kirkpatrick explained.
He said his search has extended over
several thousand miles, and posters with
Barney’s picture have been distributed in
six different cities surrounding Tulsa. as
well as to people all over the country who
have inquired about the dog, who became
a television celebrity of sorts when two
Tulsa television stations ran stories about
his disappearance.
Barney, who was raised from a puppy
by the-Kirkpafricks, is described as being
medium brown, with a white stripe*
between his eyes and a black mask
around both eyes. The white stripe comes
halfway down on the left side of his nose
and all the'way down on the right side.

about. Barney, because the dog has a con-
dition knoWn as hip displerture and
needs medical care. ~ ;
“We feel like he was probably sold to
someone here and we just want our dog
back. I have spent about 55,000 looking
for him, not counting the lost Income
since I closed the business to find him,
and we won’t stop looking until he is
found," Kirkpatrick said.
Kirkpatrick has enlisted the aid of the
Baytown Police Department, as well as
the sheriff's office in Tulsa, in finding the
animal, which he has offered a $1,000
reward for its return,
Anyone who has information on Barney
can call the Baytown Police Department
