Dog’s Best Friend
David Harless (E&H ’78) refers to himself as an egomaniac. So how does he explain spending countless hours lovingly caring for animals who need a selfless champion?
David (“Skip”) is a volunteer at BARK – a sort of waystation for dogs who were rescued from shelters and are on their way to being adopted. It was started in 2003 by Bob and Denise Tillack. “When Animal Planet came to do a story on the place, I made a point of hiding out in the office. I really believe in this place, and I didn’t want to be part of the focus. I needed the story to be about the dogs and all the great volunteers here.”
Touring the kennels reveals a lot of tail wagging and a lot of curious signs. “If you don’t see this one, he’s under the cot.” Or “In heat; no play with males.” But one of the best signs says, “Graduate.” BARK has an innovative program called “Bark Behind Bars” where rescued dogs are sent to local prisons to work with carefully selected inmates to gain socialization skills and training (basic commands, house training, crate training etc.). Prisoners and dogs alike gain much from the 12-week program, with dogs being far more ready for their forever homes after completing the process.
The day we visited David, we saw that his volunteer work is hot, sticky, a little smelly, occasionally loud – and completely fulfilling. David may be a self-proclaimed egomaniac: but there’s not one dog at BARK who sees him as anything but their very best friend.

“My wife and I used to volunteer for another animal rescue organization in Richmond; but we quickly saw that BARK was the place that really needed our time and attention.”
