I came through your site after being looking for an old USC friend of mine. Anywho, here’s the dope on Rufus-the Amazon dog.
Meet Rufus!
He’s a fixture at Amazon.com—has been since early in the company’s history. He belongs to a couple who work here, and he accompanies them to the office every day. But really, during work hours, he belongs to all of us. Rufus can be found strolling our hallways, sitting in on meetings (he loves a meeting), or catching a few z’s in his crate. He’s a master of the hallway tennis ball chase, and has everyone snookered into giving him too many
treats.
Vital Statistics
Date of Birth: September 24, 1994
Place of Birth: Vacaville, California
Academic Honors: Graduate, Perfect Paws Kindergarten, San Francisco
Turn-ons: Walks on the beach; kitties; his best dog friend, Crew; stealing other dogs’ toys at the park
Turn-offs: Thunder, fireworks, earthquakes
Obviously I should be using my time off for better things.
Thanks, Matt!
