RUBY really is top dog in her household.

The eight-year-old staffy is our pet of the week.

Owner Steve Lindley, of Greenhouse Farm Road, Runcorn, said: "She is a rescue dog that has been the boss of our house for the last seven years.

"She is well known and loved in the area especially the town park.

"She is a lovely dog and always cheers me up after a long shift at work, although as she has got older a few funny quirks have developed like barking at planes."
