As tensions rise, the siblings must learn the value of sharing and discover that Ruby belongs to all of them. Can they unite and embrace the joy of having a family pet together?

From the publisher

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.
