A family happily welcomes home its new puppy, Ruby. At bedtime, however, each child claims, "Ruby is my dog." Mom's gentle reminder about sharing works, as everyone learns, "We can share taking care...share playing," and "Share Ruby's love, too!" Colorful illustrations of the perky puppy and loving family support the sappy story.

When mom and dad bring home a new puppy, everyone is so excited! All the kids love Ruby. But who gets to walk Ruby? Who gets to play with Ruby? Who gets to brush Ruby? In this sweet story, the Dungy children learn to stop saying, “Ruby is my dog,” and say instead, “Ruby is our dog!” A charming book which teaches the importance of sharing in a sweet and humorous way.
