I was actually thinking of involving Ruby/Red in a slightly different way, and it would also involve Pongo. First, Pongo was somebody important back in the EF, and Cruella (this time with Magical abilities) enchanted him to his current Dog form.

While Pongo was missed, no one thought to check for enchanted dogs. So Pongo has been trapped for these many years, including the curse.

Where Ruby fits in is, after one of her full moon jaunts, she encounters Pongo, and being a wolf she can communicate with Pongo directly. She finds out his story, and then relays it to Snow and Emma.

That's as far as I had gotten on that rabbit trail, the story could grow from that point.
