Rufuz does more than most to add to the security of our happy home...
“Rufuz, Protector General of His Realm” When I go to bed, Rufuz joins me and puts his head, Somewhere on my body till sleeping I am, Then once he knows I am asleep, He assumes his rightful position, As protector general of his home… Lying up on the dash, To keep an eye on the world around us, He lets others know, by the bark, & the growl, This is my turf, stay away, While my daddy is sleeping, I am the alpha dog… Protect us he does, letting us know of danger, I wonder if he was around when a certain baby was born & in a manger, He even barks & growls at his friends, just to give us warning, So we awake and come to his side, to tell him how good a dog he is… Thank you Rufuz for being there for us in our need, We will try to do for you the same when time comes for us to lead… © ed – 3/15/04

Rufuz sounds like my kinda dog. We have three of them in our house that are the most sweet-tempered poochies around, and they also protect us just like we do them.

Animals can be such endearing companions.
My cat does most of what you talk about in this cute poem.
Even "barks" or "growls" if there is a menacing sound outside
our door, and sleeps on my chest at night.

All I can say is Rufuz is quite a dog and a friend. Animal friends are really wonderful, and this is a sweet poem just for him.

Best wishes and love to you and Rufuz.
