Meet Rufus: My Dog Who Has Funny Adventures While Sleeping

ADVERTISEMENT

This is my dog Rufus – a goofy Pharaoh Hound from Santa Monica, CA.

He’s a funny dog that smiles on command (and when he’s happy), enjoys having spaz outs and as you can see here, sleeping! Enjoy!

More info: RaisingTheRuf.com

I’ll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too…

Housekeeping. You need me to fluff pillows?

Reindeers and chipmunks and rabbits, OH MY!

Bags are packed, ready to go.

S’more or s’less.

Morning routine

Sleight of…. paw??

How much for the Gucci stuffed animal?

Hold your horses.

That's hilarious - but the dog must be sedated to get him to lie so still! Either that or he's weirdly used to being dressed up while asleep
