Rufus, the Dog of the Day
Name: Rufus
Age: One year old
Gender: Male Breed: Beagle, Boston Terrier Mix
Home: Columbus, Ohio, USA
 
   Rufus is one now but was about four weeks old in this picture. He's half beagle, half boston terrier. I never even expected to get this great dog. My family already had two great dogs and I was just about to graduate and go away to grad school. My mom knew I was going to miss them very much and during a neighborhood lawn sale she was looking though the items and saw that free puppies were being offered. She chose the only male and when I came to pick her up she had this small sleep little striped puppy.

    Rufus is the greatest because he's always been an extremely fast learner. He learned to sit and shake and wait to go outside at about 5-7 weeks old. He just the right size for an apartment dog and rarely barks. (My sister got his sister and she seems to bark all the time.) Rufus is just a great dog he's always happy to see me and is active when he goes outside but is perfect loafing around dog inside.
