He also tells Ruby that Ivan is going to get her out of the mall-which is true, since Ivan promised Stella he would-but Ivan resents that Bob told Ruby this, since he sees success as unlikely. In addition, Bob is honest to a fault he isn’t always willing to go along with Ivan’s insistence that he lives in a domain rather than a cage, for instance. However, it’s hard to tell how much of this is a front and how much of this Bob truly believes, as Ivan sometimes notices Bob sitting with Julia and allowing her to pet him-clearly, Bob doesn’t believe that all humans are horrible. It’s shocking to him when Ruby or Stella suggest that humans are capable of kindness. Humans, in his opinion, are cruel, selfish, and are beyond even trying to understand. In part because of this experience, Bob takes a very dim view of humans. Bob came to the mall after someone threw him and his siblings onto the highway when they were tiny puppies Bob was the only one to survive. He sleeps every night on Ivan’s belly and regularly checks Ivan’s beard for crumbs. While Bob is proud that he’s a stray and insists that he doesn’t actually have a home, he does spend nearly all his time at the mall. Bob is a tiny stray dog who lives at the Big Top Mall.
