Description: "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 has traveled 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"--P. [4] of cover.
