Not only does Bari have a melt-your-heart smile (very effective in getting her beef jerky from Grandpa...), she's quite an interesting Swissy! Sophisticated, she thrives on city life in Seattle with her family Don, Gail, Alex & Talia Rudee (her two human siblings). Apparently that sophistication carries over into her TV preferences, as she's quite a fan of cooking shows! How do we know? Well, there has been more than one incidence of Bari and her cousin Dagen breaking into the pantry, raiding and sampling only the finest ingredients so they could "whip something up for dessert!" (at least that's their story ... )

While she may be a "City Gal", she has no problem returning to her Mountain Dog roots, and she really lets her hair down when she hits the dog park - where she enjoys splashing in the water, chasing ducks and treeing squirrels!

One of Bari's accomplishments is the title of "Shortest Weight Pull in History!" That was bestowed upon her when she decided - after only one try and about 20 seconds - that this particular event was distinctly below her level of refinement.

We're proud to know her, and have her as a member of the Club. Bari holds a very special place in the Rudee Family's hearts, for she is their "Miracle Dog." Next time you see them, ask them about it!!
