Rufus is a nice addition to your family. I really like your method of finding him; you took your time and really did a though thinking through. Making the right decision with everyone being part of the decision will make life easier when problems happen. He will cost money and time; andl be well worth all the intangibles he will bring. George will learn a lot about kindness and love plus have someone to play with and protect him. Having a dog barking will also keep the family safer if someone wants to break in or lure George away from the back yard. He will let you be more confident letting George play in the back yard without having to sit outside watching. I'm sure Rufus will be a challenge getting trained; he looks like the perfect addition. I'm envious. I remember having a similar dog that was also apparently put out on the side of the road. His name was Skipper and I think I was about five when he came to our back door begging for food. We had Skipper thirteen years and I have lots of fond memories of him. We all cried when he died.
Love, G-Ma T
