Aboard a boat in the early morning hours of the day, Ruby and her human parents went to sea to enjoy the golden retriever's first sunrise. Donning a life jacket for her safety, Ruby, also known as Roo, crawled into the arms of her father while the sun rose in the morning around them.
Enjoying the colors of the sky, Roo and her father took in the beauty of a sunrise together, and we are positive they will both remember this moment for a long time. Full of smiles and cuddles, Ruby truly had the best day ever. Heading home after the early-morning start, we are also sure they're going to have a nice start to the day.
