That's right, this dog's first name is the same as his last. 

I noticed him right away because he looks so much like my former shelter dog, Ellie, whom I lost about two years ago at the age of 14.

Barkley is mostly Chow with some terrier & Old English Sheepdog mixed in. What a cutey!!

He's still coming back from a December surgery for a "football injury." Really. Check out that black/blue "Chow" tongue.

My dog Ellie -- dubbed "The Cutest Dog in the World" by co-workers after I got her out of the Long Beach Animal Shelter in the mid-1990s -- maybe isn't an exact twin. But when I looked at Barkley's face, I could sure see Ellie (especially when she was younger, the 2 pics below are from her later years); love their button noses!:

About the Bloggers

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
