Sasha Farber met his best friend in 2016 when he adopted his dog, Ruby.

The small, fluffy pup started as his foster pet, but Farber fell hard for Ruby and decided to make her his forever pet and dance partner.

Since adopting Ruby, the Dancing with the Stars professional and his pup have travelled America together, facing a myriad of adventures.

"She's been on so many Dancing with the Stars tours, I want to say over eight tours. She's been through everything with me, through breakups and a bus crash on a tour we had once," Farabr tells PEOPLE about the dog, who he believes is around 10, though she is often mistaken for a puppy.

Having Ruby on tour turned what could've been an overwhelming or isolating experience into fond memories for Farber.
