Pitbull "Rufus" Certifed Therapy Dog and Excellent Breed Ambassador Retires after 5 1/2 years- CONGRATULATIIONS RUFUS

Rufus (an amazing pitbull) is now retiring after 5 1/2 years as a Certified Therapy Dog who has visited nursing homes, elementary school, and hospitals...I have to say a huge thank you to Maryellen (Rufus's mom) .I have so enjoyed doing this video. It's nice to do a pitbull video that sends such a message as Rufus is able to. And after over 800 pictures of Rufus and the family, I sorta feel like I already know you all...

And Mr. Rufus...He is one incredible PITBULL!!! I just sat in awe as I went through his 800+ pictures and then had to make the awful decision on which pictures i was going to use in the video.. I WANTED TO USE THEM ALL but then it would have ended up being a 4 hour video and that's something i have not tackled....YET! :)

I know alot of hearts are going to be missing all the comforting visits from Rufus..He has touched so many...From small children to the wonderful ladies and gentlemen at the hospitals and nursing homes....

He has devoted 5 1/2 years to giving hope, companionship and love to so so many people...

Thank you Rufus and thank you Maryellen for raising such a wonderful guy..

RUFUS- YOU ROCK!!!!!!

Gangsta Rufus @1:53. Thanks and grateful tears for sharing this vid! Good Job Rufus- a true AMBASSADOR!

[michaelvick2jail]

LOL Peace..I had to go back and look and it gave me a chuckle that I needed so badly this morning..I didn't think of him as Gangasta but you know the outfit and the glasses are very fitting for the "term"..Thanks for viewing..:) Sherry

Sherry thanks for this video. It made me shed quite a few tears. Congrats to Rufus and his family. He is so handsome especially in his tux. A million stars and a great big fav. :)

[michaelvick2jail]

Thanks Dixie..Rufus so deserved a special retirement video and I was honored to be able to do it for him and his family...I love the tux also..You know what the sad thing is: The people who NEED to see these videos showing positive sides of the breed, DON'T. That will not stop my videos from being produced but I just wish we could somehow get through to at least a few people who think so negative of the breed. It suxs..but Pits Rule!!! Hugs dixie..& thanks for the fav (again) :) Sherry

[michaelvick2jail]

Congratulations again RUFUS! You are such a wonderful Ambassador for your breed..

1:08, I think he's embarrassed not just because he's wearing Yankees gear, but, I know it doesn't feel natural, or look natural... Thank you for your service, Rufus!

[MrBuccaBoy]

Wow, this brought tears to my eyes! Go Rufus!

[lichade74]

beautiful! bless Rufus and his Family, a true embassador of the breed!

[gulfgypsy]

What a rare and wonderful soul, Rufus has!! Glad he found his way into the 'forever family' he was meant to be part of.

It's not the breed, it's the cruel people who train their Pits to be mean, that are the problem!

Blessings to Rufus and his human family for all they do!!
