Rufus is a little dog on a big mission. After overhearing a discussion about the endangered species list on TV Rufus sets out on an assignment as a traveling reporter at large to interview endangered animals and to find out how he can help them. Upon arrival in Africa Rufus encounters Peace Hippo who becomes his traveling companion. The unlikely pair travels to China to meet a panda and to India to meet a tiger. Then upon their return to Africa Rufus learns how the Massai are using their tracking skills to protect lions and how bees are helping elephants behave in Africa. And finally his wish to meet a rhino is fulfilled--a rhino who recites Shakespeare To be or not to be. . . .Rufus learns the challenges facing these animals today as each one tells their personal story.
