    Loved the sweet beautiful star dog and wonderful plot based on true story!
    I just watched this on Netflix and it is a wonderful movie based on true story! Loved the movie and everyone in it!

    The storyline is based on the dog (half border collie mix) who was rescued on the street by shelter meets an aspiring K9 police officer who could not afford a pedigreed German Shepperd becomes the best K9 dog even beating other pedigreed K9 dogs, Ruby the K9 dog received 2018 best K9 dog award (even in true life)!

    Everything about this story which is based on true story was so inspirational and wonderful! The actor dog is also a rescue and rescued in last minute by a wonderful professional dog trainer, which you get to see in the last few scenes of how they took some scenes with the dog and even the actor baby, they are adorable!

    The former street dog Ruby had to be home trained by both the wife and the husband (aspiring K9 officer) instead of a traditional route, and everyone tries to help out the dog and the officer to become the K9 unit! And they do succeed at the end despite of some obstacles!

    I am more of a cat person in reality though I have had dogs since childhood and I currently have Birman pedigreed show cats myself, which are cat version of dogs Lol, but I just loved this movie! Any animal lovers would love this movie for sure as it is based on a true story and has such a great storyline! The wife was very supportive of the husband despite of many setbacks and disappointments they faced. I wish all married couples can be like them! So nice to see a happy supportive couple. I loved everyone around him was also cheering for them to succeed, and such a wonderful positive story!

    It helps that the main male character is easy on the eyes as well as the actor dog was very handsome (he is a beautiful dog!) ;)

    It was such a nice way to spend my Friday night to cheer me up with such positive movie to start my first new year weekend! Recommend!
