About This Item

OZPortrait

"Dufus", the Happy-Go-Lucky Dawg Extraordinaire, is on a mission to visit Europe. Having packed his bags and bones, Dufus ventured forth from New York and landed in Cobham, England.

"Gawrsh!", said Dufus. "I, ah, gotta see dah world..!"

Dufus's story starts out in the back alleys of New York's Financial District. Happy to spend his days as the official Christmas Mascot of the Wall Street stockbrokers by day, Dufus bunks down with his other fellow vagabond dawgs  near the World Trade Center at night. Sadly, after September 11, Dufus finds himself homeless and boneless. As hope turns to despair, fire hydrants lose their appeal and his daily ritual of leaving homemade 'land-mines' in Central Park's jogging paths no longer complement his days. 

One fine day, Dufus, who by this time was weak and hungry and on his last paws, rescues Madame Fifi, a prized Chinese ShihTzu Penthouse Pet of 2002 belonging to Bianca Castafiore, the richest lady in New York. Trapped for weeks under the rubble of the former World Trade Center, Dufus pulls her free. Immediately, Dufus is an instant celebrity. 

Parks are opened in his honour. The City of New York present him with his own Fire Hydrant ... Pet Food makers seek out his endorsements ... and so on...

                               

Dufus wins the coveted prize of 

The Grand Prize: An all-expenses paid trip to Europe - Woof !! 


Dufus enjoys the company of fellow geocachers and other Dawgs and Ketts. If you happen to pick up Dufus during his travels, take a photo or 2 of him for all the Vagabond Dawgs back in New York to see.

NEW ADDITION !!


- Due to popular demand from geocachers, Dufus's tales will continue via periodic letters between Dufus, Madame Fifi and the Vagabond Dawgs back home -
(* NEW CACHERS SHOULD READ ALL LOGS CHRONOLOGICALLY FOR MAXIMUM ENJOYMENT!!* )

I have had this guy for way too long now. He spent the last year with me in Indiana but decided to get him out again in warmer climates. We had him in Boqueron, PR and left him in Eden for another cacher to move along. Viejas buenas...
