Ruby

Don't let her compact size fool you – Ruby, our French Bulldog extraordinaire, serves as Brookstone's Director of Social Engagement with an oversized personality that more than makes up for her diminutive stature. Known for her distinctive "sound effects" during important meetings (which she insists are essential commentary), Ruby brings both charm and comic relief to the office environment.

With her endearingly smushed face and perpetual look of mild concern about market volatility, Ruby has become our unofficial stress-test indicator. Her loud breathing during quiet moments has been dubbed the "Ruby Market Monitor" by regular clients, who swear her snorts have predicted at least three market corrections (though we're still crunching the numbers on that one).
