More: Wake Rufus up in the middle of the night from his deepest, coziest slumber and he would still be THRILLED to go for a walk or play fetch (only slightly distracted by an overwhelming desire for a slice of cheese). And while the photo does not do his 55 lbs size justice, if you are hanging out with him you'll want to know that he loves to give hugs as if he is 1/2 his actual size and weight (with no expectation that the hug will turn in to a gift of cheese).
