Rescued by Ruby
The movie is based on a real life story of Ruby, an American Shepherd and Border Collie mix, and Dan O’Neil, A K9 Search and rescue team aspirant. After multiple attempts to find her a home, the pup was deemed unadoptable and scheduled to be put down, when a volunteer trainer named Pat Inman felt the dog was intelligent beneath all the belligerence abd hoped special attention and discipline will save her life.
She contacted the Rhode Island State Police who offered her to officer Dan O’Neil. For Dan, it was his best chance to get his dream job. A lot of patience and hard work later, the pup matured into a loyal K-9 partner.
