Documenting Interactions
Driven by curiosity and concern, Karen decided to start documenting Rufus’s interactions with visitors. She kept a small notebook, carefully writing down patterns she noticed, from the way he tilted his head to sudden shifts in his excitement. Some coworkers teased her about playing detective, but Karen didn’t mind. Deep down, she believed Rufus was trying to communicate something important. No matter how strange it sounded, she was convinced there was meaning behind his actions and felt determined to uncover the truth.

Rufus’s Selective Choices
As Karen reviewed her notes, a clear pattern began to emerge. Rufus wasn’t randomly reacting—he was selective about who truly captured his attention. Not every friendly face earned the same response, and not every wag of his tail carried the same energy. Karen joked that Rufus had his own logic, but she meant it sincerely. Soon, other shelter workers began noticing the same thing, and the atmosphere shifted. Everyone grew more intrigued, feeling like they were collectively unraveling a mystery Rufus had created.
