He gets along great with other dogs, cats and kids. He is housebroken & crate trained. Rufus is a wonderful people loving dog. He has an even temper and seems to honestly just want to please people. He does want to be around people all of the time, from always following us to be in the same room or just sitting and leaning against us to be pet. He does love attention.
