“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.”
~ Maya Angelou
Our beautiful young red cattle dog, Rufous, has found a new calling.
He’s certainly at home on our farm doing
Rufous is a gentle boy. He’s only just turned two, so you think he’d still have a puppy-brain (and if you watched him run around like a demented pixie with his dog brother Harry here at our farm you’d KNOW he is still just a pup) but when he is in the presence of these frail elderly women he suddenly becomes attentive, caring, responsible and wise.
He seems to know when someone needs extra love and attention. In his presence, the women smile and laugh. Some of them talk to him when they are silent for everyone else. He stands so still for them to pat him or hug him clumsily, and always seeks out the shy ones who stand back and would otherwise not get a turn to say hello.
This little rescue dog has paid the favour forwards.
I’m so grateful he came into our lives.
Lots of love to you from all of us, Nicole ❤ xx
Isn’t it amazing how in tune dogs can be with humans? They just know when someone needs extra love… he seems like a dog worth his weight in gold!
Rufous is adorable! Who couldn’t love him?!
That is awesome!
I can see why he is good with the old women and I am sure they love seeing him

Good old Rufous. He came into your life for a reason. He is such a sweet hound.
Rufous! Lovely boy!!

Snuggles, pats, hugs and love to Rufous (interesting name).
Rufous is from the Latin word for Red and it is usually used to describe the colour of feathers, fur or skin of animals and birds <3
That’s beautiful and rare. Good on all of you.

What a beautiful boy he is xxx
