Ruby
is a traveling physic who learns she can hear dog’s thoughts. Out of no where she met a little dog that
seemed lost in the rain, she takes him in and hears the dog. She decides to stay in the town for a while,
Harmony Farms, until she can find out who the dog really belongs to. She ends up staying there, every time she
plans on leaving things happen to keep her there. This book is so interesting. I’ve always found psychics to have a mystique
about them and this book was so well written the characters were so interesting
and well developed that I couldn’t put the book down. It was really interesting to this person who
has never even owned a dog or any pets.

Description
From New York
Times bestselling author Susan Wilson comes What a Dog Knows,
another heartwarming novel about humans and the dogs that change our lives.
Ruby Heartwood has always lived a life on the move. As a traveling psychic, she
makes her living working at carnivals and festivals and circuses around New
England. It's a life Ruby has made peace with—settling in one place has never
been for her. She needs no one, and no one needs her.
Until one night, when she is camped by the side of the road in her trusty
Volkswagon "Westie" van, a fierce thunder and lightning storm erupts.
In the middle of the downpour, she hears a distinct voice telling her to
"let me in." In jumps a little black and white dog, and to Ruby's
astonishment, she can hear the dog's thoughts. Has she been struck by
lightning? Did the storm do this? Is she losing her mind?
It turns out, Ruby can hear many dogs' thoughts. She decides to set up semi-permanent
residency in the town of Harmony Farms, until she can sort out what is going
on, and who the little dog, Hitch, belongs to. But some people in Harmony Farms
don't want her there. And it seems that events keep preventing Ruby from
leaving. What secrets is this town keeping? Why was she meant to find this dog?
And what has Ruby really been running from, all these years?
