If you have ever lost trust in someone because of something bad that happened you can relate to Rufus. Now imagine you are Rufus, you love people so much you greet everyone you meet. Unfortunately living on the streets Rufus did just that and it backfired. He was following the wrong person and they chased and beat him with a broom. You can imagine what that did to his trust in humans. Since we rescued Rufus he is learning to trust again, but he needs that special love and attention to regain it. We know he will learn to trust again and be looking for someone to love.
