A Rhode Island pooch who inspired people by making her way from shelter dog to lifesaving police K-9 — and who was the subject of a recent Netflix movie, in March 2022 — has been euthanized, according to the Rhode Island State Police on Sunday. K-9 Ruby was put down on Friday, police said, following a "sudden, acute, and untreatable illness."
In October 2017, O’Neil and Ruby found a teenage boy who had fallen into a ravine and remained unconscious. One commenter on YouTube said of the film, "Dogs are truly a gift to humans!! Back the Blue!!"
She "served admirably for 11 years," the RI State Police also said.
Here is the police department's tweet about Ruby on Sunday.
