    A wonderful underdog tale if ever there was one!
    This was exactly the heartwarming-bordering-on-sentimental movie that I was looking for today! There are sooooooo many movies out there that are dark, gritty, or downright depressing that I am totally burned out on them. I stumbled across this one and thought it might be what I was looking for, and I was SO right!

    This based-on-a-true-story movie is a great underdog (har har) tale that just gets you in all the right feel-good places. I loved how they built the characters and the relationships, especially between Daniel and Ruby and the ending brought everything full circle just perfectly. All the actors were great, but I was thinking the whole time how well-trained the dog playing Ruby was. During the credits, the filmmakers revealed that, just like Ruby in the story, the dog playing Ruby was also rescued from a shelter at "the last minute" and helped into playing the role perfectly. That was the icing on the cake for me and I had to go hunt down my own rescue dog and give him some love (and I may have slipped him a little raw hot dog too, but I won't tell if you won't!).

    If you are a dog lover, love a good underdog-makes-good story, or are just looking for a break from all the dark, depressing stuff that abounds these days, I HIGHLY recommend checking out Rescued by Ruby. If you aren't smiling by the end of it, I'll wonder if you even HAVE a heart!
