You found Ruff 🐾

Well… that worked.

If you’re reading this, you just tapped your phone to my hand and ended up here.

Yes, the chip is real.
No, your phone isn’t broken.

You just scanned one of the NFC implants in my hand.

Most people check their phone…
Then look at my hand…
Then check their phone again.

Welcome to Ruff’s little corner of the internet.

Wait… who is Ruff?

Ruff is the chaos corgi behind ruffthe.dog.

I travel a lot between communities around the world, especially Atlanta and London, and I love meeting people in unexpected places. Sometimes that happens at pup events, sometimes at bars, and sometimes in the middle of an airport or a random conversation that starts out of nowhere.

The chip you scanned is just my slightly unusual way of saying hello.

Why put a chip in your hand?

Because moments should be memorable.

The implant in my hand is a tiny NFC tag. Your phone briefly powered it and it sent you to this page.

No battery.
No tracking.
Just a tiny bit of technology and a fun conversation starter.

And honestly, it’s a great way to make sure people remember meeting Ruff.

If we just met

I’m glad we crossed paths.

Whether it was at an event, a bar, a dance floor, or somewhere completely random, I always enjoy the small moments where strangers turn into connections.

Sometimes all it takes is a conversation.

Or a slightly unusual handshake.

One more thing

If someone asks how you got my contact info…

You already know what to tell them.

You scanned my hand. 🐾
