Sassy “Ru” is a Lab mix who is the pack’s princess—and she owns that title. Sharp as a tack, she scours the forest with laser-like focus, ready to leap at any discovery. Despite her independent streak, she’s got a major crush on Barney and practically worships the ground he walks on. Sassy delights in teasing her brother at every chance. She adores tugging on his bandana and licking his face.

Beneath her sweet demeanor—this alpha female is determined to claim the front seat during our long road trips. After all, a girl needs to be comfortable! She takes great joy in sitting by the front window as we make our way through the forest. There’s a constant contest between her and Bandit over who gets to claim that coveted spot. When it comes to affection, she demands to be the center of her dad's universe, and distractions are not permitted!

Out in the wild, Sassy’s fearless—she knows her brothers have her back. Loyal to the core, she’s also our top watchdog, never missing a beat whenever there’s a rustle in the trees. Put simply, Sassy “Ru” is a feisty blend of princess vibes and big-time heart, and our pack wouldn’t be the same without her. As the queen of the roost, she exudes confidence. Her vigilant watchfulness is evident both at home and on the road.
