Through the years, Ruthie the Duck Girl made many friends from all walks of life. Rich and poor; young and old; black and white; gay and straight; cops and criminals; suburbanites as well as the homeless. Having a wide variety of friends made life more exciting for Ruthie.

Here are a few of her good friends:
