Say Hello to Ruby – or as we like to call her, Perfect! This extraordinary 4 ½ year old was rescued a year ago from California via Petfinder and now calls the Bay State home. Ruby spends her time in Boston and Plymouth where she gets to walk wooded trails and play with lots of other neighborhood dogs.
Perfect … uh, Ruby has a great disposition and has been this way since “day one.” Her people have been amazed saying, “She’s the easiest dog I have [ever had.]” And, “I’ve never seen anything like this dog!”
There’s no doubt that this little heart-stealer is very devoted to the guy in her life, “No matter where Ruby is in the house, she keeps her eyes on him at all times.”
Ruby is also quite clever. After repeatedly being put inside a very comfortable, designer crate to keep her safe and out of trouble when the family stepped out for awhile, she would always be standing outside the crate when they returned.
Finally, making certain the crate door was secured, they pretended to leave but secretly watched from outside her room and saw Ruby using her nose, paw, and tongue to unlatch the crate and escape! (Sounds like she crate-trained her family)
When she wants to go to sleep for the night, Ruby will stand and stare at her people until they get the hint, then it’s onto their bed.
From day-one Ruby, “never wet in the house, never did anything wrong, and never chewed anything.” Now that’s a “perfect” dog!
