A Worksop dog called Rui, a Livernose Rhodesian Ridgeback, has stolen the limelight in a quest to make everyone laugh with his new book called ‘Rui’s Mischief Moments: Tails of Canine Comedy and Mayhem’.
The book invites readers into the sharp-witted, ever-scheming mind of Rui Ridgeback, a dog with boundless larger than life personality and an unshakable determination to be number one.
Told entirely from Rui’s perspective, this humorous and heartfelt memoir follows his journey with his new owner, revealing the plotting, planning and cunning behind his many hilarious mischievous adventures. Along the way, a unique bond develops with his new owner, one that is built on wit, trust, patience, and a shared love of nonstop escapades.
With a huge social media following, Rui has already captured the hearts of thousands online, and this book is both an extension of that world and an appreciative nod to all his loyal fans. Every dog owner will recognise pieces of their own furry companions in Rui’s tales, making this a relatable and laugh-out-loud celebration of life with a four-legged friend.
The book is now available both on Amazon as a paperback and Kindle edition. The paperback is also available now to order from bookshops with a separate ISBN, 9781805880752.
Published by Michael Terence Publishing, Scorpio Design also deserves special thanks for their exceptional talent in bringing the illustrations to life.
And there’s also another book on the way… one designed for children and beautifully illustrated in colour.
How Rui met his special human…
“Rui is a rescue dog who came to me at two years and eleven months old, his fourth home by that point. It didn’t take long to understand why: along with severe separation anxiety, he was remarkably clever, able to open any door in the house, including the fridge freezer. What followed was less pet ownership and more a battle of wits. Rui was determined to outsmart me at every turn. I quickly lost count of the meals he helped himself to.
What began as a single story on social media soon grew into something much bigger. Readers from around the world started following his antics, cheering him on and encouraging me to share more. Rui is a natural showman who thrives on attention, and his playful spirit has earned him a substantial online following.
The book chronicles our journey together, equal parts chaos and comedy highlighting Rui’s escapades and the ongoing contest between us.”

Not the diary-writing singleton, but a Japanese Akita with attitude…
