The Services of Rufus, by Rufus

I may appear to the naked human eye a common canine, a companion dog, so to speak. I will have you know that my services (and cuteness) far exceed those of the common household canine. As the sole canine of this house, it is my role to comfort Mrs. M in her distress. I do this in many ways, my specialty, though, being laying on the couch and looking really cute. I also encourage my mistress to get out for some fresh air exercising, and socializing. I have an animal magnetism that has enlarged Mrs. M's social circle considerably. I was made for this house. I don't know what Mr. and Mrs. M would do without me.
