This Dog Is A Manager Of The Bookstore That’s Named After Her
Ruby did not just become the face of a bookstore, she became the reason it works at all. In a small community shop named after her, this fluffy greeter has turned everyday errands into something people look forward to.
Stacy Gould and her family opened Ruby's Books with one very specific employee in mind, their dog Ruby. Since Gould is the one who heads to the shop each day, Ruby tags along, welcoming customers, soaking up attention, and making the store feel like a neighborhood favorite.
Now Ruby has a title, a routine, and a fan base, and the story behind her bookstore is as charming as it sounds. Read on.
Ruby is now Ruby's Books' co-owner, manager, and official greeter, and she takes her work extremely seriously. Ruby and her bookstore have only been open for about a year and a half, but they have already established themselves as an important part of the community.
The customers love Ruby, and she has become quite the staple here on Sutter Street. We often joke that people come for the books but stay for the dog!
Meet Ruby
Ruby's family believes that having a healthy work-life balance is crucial; therefore, she doesn't go to the store every day. She works from Monday to Friday and spends her weekends with her family at home.
On the other hand, she enjoys every minute she spends in the store and has a slew of responsibilities that she proudly fulfills.
Ruby's Books' co-owner, manager, and official greeter. And she takes her work extremely seriously.
Her duties include greeting each customer at the door, rolling over for endless belly rubs, sniffing out treats within the pockets of our customers, mopping the floor with her very fluffy tail, and reading (well, she pretends to) alongside the kiddos in our children's section.
It also echoes the woman who brought an old dog into a no-pets store, despite workers refusing to understand.

She works from Monday to Friday because weekends are reserved for her family
Ruby adores owning her own bookstore, and her family loves the fact that they now have a chance to share Ruby's joy with the rest of the community. We can only imagine how thrilled the customers are when they are greeted by such an adorable and fluffy member of the staff.
Ruby's Books really did get the perfect mascot.
