Rufust is a superstar ... right down to the "diamond" encrusted collar that spells his name. Ok, well maybe it's not actually diamonds, but it's pretty classy! He was on hand at The National Dog Show near Philadelphia, Pa. to promote the "Angel on a Leash" therapy dog program of which he has been a part since winning Best in Show at Westminster in 2006. Rufus also won Best in Show in 2005 at The National Dog Show. To learn more about how Rufus and other therapy dogs assist in hospitals, schools, nursing homes and animal rescue organizations, visit www.angelonaleash.org.
Watch for Rufus on The National Dog Show to be broadcast on Thanksgiving Day 2009 on NBC.
