BARKLEE the Stage Play

What happens when a dog is recruited to be a Service Protection Dog to a sixteen-year-old boy, and that dog doesn't feel like he belongs in that job? Barklee is a dog that talks to the audience as he experiences his first day on the job and learns about the job and the boy. Together the boy and the dog experience the boy's first kiss with a girl, experience the summer of having a girlfriend, and then experience the trauma of a breakup that triggers the boy to hurt himself, causing Barklee to go into action and protect the boy, causing them to bond. Summer comes to an end. Barklee and the boy go to school, and the boy and dog become popular. The school rules the dog is not allowed, and this causes the boy's mom to get a lawyer and take the school district to the NJ State Supreme Court, but what do they rule? It is based on a true story that's taking place in Manalapan, NJ. A dramedy.
