Bashful Rufferty Black & Cream Puppy might look like your average black-and-cream bundle of joy – but don’t be fooled. He’s got an origin story worth barking about. 

 

Bashful Bunny knew Bartholomew Bear wasn’t wild about the dark (who is?), so she gifted him a nighttime companion with the softest ears and the biggest heart she could find.

Since then, Rufferty’s taken his role as Bart’s right-hand pup very seriously. He’s more than a cuddle – he’s moral support on call. Head of stage-side cheering (never once laughed at a misstep), custard cream quality control, and emotional backup during outfit fittings (the Aubergine look was… a journey).

Loyal, lovable, and a little clumsy on hardwood floors, Rufferty follows wherever Bartholomew goes – and always sits when snacks are mentioned.

He may be quiet, but he’s mastered the fine art of always being there.
