Barnabas

Barnabas is a mixed-breed dog as big as a Buick (predominantly Bouvier in appearance) who adopted Father Tim in At Home in Mitford, and has been the rector's companion ever since. Named for Barnabas in the Bible, who accompanied St. Paul on his first missionary journey. Barnabas's rambunctious behavior is controlled only by the loud proclamation of Scripture.

He has appeared in every book in the series in mostly major roles until his death between Somewhere Safe With Somebody Good and Come Rain Or Come Shine.
