    Who slept with a poodle called "Rufus Two"?

    Question #48400. Asked by peasypod. (Jun 14 04 8:00 PM)

    Winston Churchill

    Soon, his (Buster Lloyd-Jones) clients included many distinguished celebrities ... including Sir Winston Churchill (who was advised that he fed too many chocolates to his poodle, Rufus, and that the dog should be put on a diet).

    The poodle ate in the dining room with the rest of the [Churchill] family. A cloth was laid for him on the Persian carpet beside the head of the household, and no one else ate until the butler had served Rufus's meal. One evening at Chequers the film was Oliver Twist. Rufus, as usual, had the best seat in the house, on his master's lap. At the point when Bill Sikes was about to drown his dog to put the police off his track, Churchill covered Rufus's eyes with his hand. He said, "Don't look now, dear. I'll tell you about it afterwards."

    Talking about his second poodle, which he obtained after the death of the first one, Rufus.

    This old movie or show has stumped our family for years. It is about a guy that is trying to date a lady and she has a large poodle. In part of the show, the poodle yelps and puts up one paw like the man kicked him and the lady gets mad and when she turns her back the poodle jumps high in the air, and when she turns back the poodle holds up the wrong paw. The man says, "Look it was the other paw," and the dog switches paws. That's all we can remember. It could be a black and white show or color. We have asked many people if they have seen it but with no luck, what movie is it?
