Meet Ruby
Breed: Bijon Ellapso
Barking from: Hamilton
What's up dog?
She sleeps in the office at home all day, gets up, walks in a circle then back to her original spot. She always has to be by our sides and even follows us to the bathroom. I once accidentally closed the front door thinking she was inside. I later (after 20mins) realised she was lost. I opened the door to run and look around the streets for ruby and she was sat on the doorstep.
