Barker never remarried after the death of his wife, Dorothy Jo Gideon, in 1981, but he has been longtime companions with Burnet since they met in 1983.
Barker and Burnet have been companions for over four decades.
At the time, he wrote that Burnet said she was “winding up a divorce,” to which he replied that the dog he was trying to find a home for would be the perfect fit.In the late 1980s, the duo held several rallies in New York City to protest furs. Barker reflected on these protests in his book, sharing that in November 1988 he and Burnet led the first of two protest marches down Fifth Avenue with approximately 2,000 animal rights activists.
“We didn’t have time for children,” he added. “I don’t regret it, not when so many of my friends are having so much trouble with their children. I have thirteen ducks, and that’s a lot of work.” Over the years, they also spent many milestone birthdays together, including his 90th in December 2013.Parade
