I am an extraordinary gift to my mom as I was hand-selected by her brother – my human-uncle Jason – who is in Heaven. He loved dogs so much and wanted to ensure his sister received only the best in a dog, so he obviously picked me for her! 

My human mom named me after one of my uncle’s favorite movies – can you guess the name of it? Yep, Rudy. He was a Notre Dame fan and loved to cheer for the underdog in whatever sporting event he watched. 

So, that is how my name came to be, but there is a lot more to me. Most people would call me spoiled, but I am loved. My human mom is always trying new toys and treats to entertain me because if I am not engaged, I can find trouble – or so she says. I love long walks on the beach (okay, just down the street, but I can imagine). I can tell time because I always know when to eat breakfast or dinner. And often, there isn’t a need for the doorbell as I do an excellent job of announcing a stranger’s arrival at our home.
