Meet Ruby.
Ruby is an extremely simple dog. She doesn’t do any fancy tricks (actually, she doesn’t even “sit”) Ruby and her puppies were saved from a high kill shelter by a rescue group. She had been very abused. When we went to adopt a new dog, Myra spotted her, sitting quietly in the back. Despite my attempts to talk her into one of the many puppies, Myra was set on Ruby (or, Glory, as the tag on her cage read) We asked to visit with her and though she was VERY calm (and a bit boring?) Myra was in Love.
So, we adopted our simple dog.
Since coming home, she has showed us that she does actually have quite the personality, and we all love her.

And she loves us, plain and simple.

I think your daughter has some serious intuition. Ruby needed you. I think that’s obvious from the second image. This brought tears to my eyes, Breeze. Thanks a lot. I’m such a sap when it comes to animals.
