Bari lived close to a supermarket in Kosovo. He was very calm and friendly to people in the neighborhood. But with his ear infections, Svetlana and other volunteers had to catch him every evening to administer his medicine. While the ear infection worsened, Bari started running away whenever he saw Svetlana coming with the medication. At one point he even disappeared. It became so difficult to look after him, that Bari was temporarily moved to a pension before he eventually came to Meda's Run in Serbia. The ear infection could never be properly treated though, and Bari went completely deaf. But every once in a while, he starts barking at something no one else can see or hear.
