My dog Ace is the middle child. Seldom the center of attention, Ace is quite comfortable blending into the background. Except when he barks. And he barks a lot. He barks in the morning when I let him out. He barks when I feed him. He barks at anyone or anything that walks past his yard in Malta. He barks when he’s riding in his kennel in the back of the truck and I turn onto a gravel road. He barks when we drive through town on the return from hunting. He barks when we’re out hunting and I sto...

Laura Pankratz displayed a map...
