Book Summary


Found like unwanted trash in an abandoned house, Ruby grows up to achieve the impossible! Join her on a wonderful, wild odyssey that has been her life … a real doggie epic! Ruby is a service dog, a veteran of stage plays, worked at a radio station as a co-host and has appeared in newspapers around the world.

Meet the fascinating people, celebrities, and dogs Ruby has worked with, lived with, and helped along the way. Wait with Ruby and her family in the blistering South Dakota sun when the motor home breaks down, only to wish they hadn’t been rescued when they see the tow truck operators. Ruby flew to Hollywood to appear on The Bonnie Hunt Show. (Bonnie loved Ruby!) She had a driver, a limo and a four star hotel. … not bad for a little dog nobody wanted. But Ruby found that all that glitters was not always gold and then, cancer came a calling. Once again, with the help from an angel, Ruby rallied her indomitable spirit to survive.

Ruby’s story has it all: fun, gritty drama, high emotion, excitement, anger, laughter and betrayal. It is a living, breathing story that will leave adoptive pet parents cheering.

"A wonderful story, well written and easy to read even if you aren't used to reading English a lot. It drew me in and was hard to put down. It was so interesting, with some parts fun and some parts shocking. I was scared for Ruby for a little while, but the ending was a nice twist and left me hopeful. There was also a very important life lesson in the book, and not just for pet lovers. It's about people who always make up their minds before knowing the whole story. We need more people like the the author to make this world a better place for animals of all kinds. I hope this book makes it to Europe."
