About Karl Barks

Karl Barks is a goofy, affectionate dog weighing in at 77 lbs. With his expressive eyes and ears, he definitely has a way of winning hearts, especially if you’re on his list of friends. At just under two years old, this young pup has learned a handful of impressive tricks and is more than willing to show them off—perhaps in exchange for a bit of cheese. He takes his time warming up to new people, but once he feels comfortable, he loves to receive healthy scritches and pets. We’re still getting to know his opinions on other animals, so it might be best to introduce him gradually if you have pets at home.
