How a Dog Named Wellington Became Part of Adam’s Identity

Before Adam W. Barney had kids, he had Wellington — a tuxedo‑colored basset hound–poodle mix who became the first member of his Family and the quiet anchor of his identity. In this clip, Adam shares how Wellington’s name lives on in his own, and why that early bond still shapes the way he shows up in the world.

It’s a simple story that reveals something bigger: the roots we carry, the companions who shape us, and the unexpected places our identity begins.
