About this episode

Rufus is a wiry terrier with a little whip of a tail who is taken out of the animal shelter and brought to a new home with the Lady and another dog, Frankie. It should be cause for major celebration...but Rufus is not sure who he can trust. Will Rufus move past his fears and embrace his new home? And what about this 'Halloween' thing Frankie keeps talking about? You'll have to listen in to this sweet story to find out what happens.
