Meet Ruby
Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrior
Barking from: Auckland
What's up dog?
Ruby gives me a reason to get out of bed and has helped me exercise more. We have been exploring places I didn't know existed. Last season I managed a prem reserve ladies softball and Ruby came to every game and was a mental health support dog to the players. She loves people especially kids.
