Appearance[]

Barnabas is a medium-sized dog with a slightly slender but robust build, reminiscent of a hunting or sheepdog. His long, shaggy, and somewhat tousled coat blends shades of light brown, beige, and white, with the white concentrated mainly around the muzzle, forehead, and chest. His light, blue-gray eyes are very expressive and exude both gentleness and melancholy. His medium-length ears hang slightly, accentuating his wild appearance, while his fine, furry muzzle underlines his intelligence and attentiveness. The whole gives him a natural, wild charm, reinforced by the light, which brings out the texture of his coat and the intensity of his gaze.

Loyal and attentive, he watches over his master while humorously criticizing his artistic pursuits, combining caustic wit with wisdom.
