Where/why did you get your pet?

We fell in love with French Bulldogs a few years before we got Ruby, as they are so sweet, funny, and friendly. In May 2020, we picked up Ruby in the Poconos, but she was born in Romania and flown here. There were travel delays due to Covid restrictions.

Anything special or unusual about your pet?

She’s obsessed with water bottles.

Any funny stories?

Ruby finds a bottle on nearly every walk and carries them for miles home. She gets a lot of smiles when people see her. When we get home she drops the bottle and we recycle it.

What do you like best about your pet?

She is so friendly and cuddly. She loves all humans and other dogs. She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. She doesn’t growl or get upset when her smaller dog sister is aggressive.

How has the pet enriched your life?

She has so much love in her and is always up for a cuddle. She’s happiness in a 30-pound furry body!
