Rufus is about a pampered dog who is the family pet. He also lives on the family farm with many other animals. He is self-centered and preoccupied with himself. He finds enjoyment and pleasure in taunting and boasting excessively to the other animals about being registered at the Kennel Club, bathing in the family bathtub with special soaps made just for dogs, getting his toenails clipped, and having stories read to him at bedtime. Nothing could be finer than the Kibbles 'n Bits that he has at dinnertime. Rufus will learn a valuable lesson in prejudging others by the way they look and how they live.
