I can't edit my anonymous comment (shout-out to the site developers) but to elaborate, Rufus's bark is popularly believed to be heard around the landscape, despite his presence being abscent, and this theory would seem to stand to reason, since it's confirmed that ghost dog barks can be heard in the ghost town of Tumbleweed, which I believe is meant to be looked back on as a confirmation that Rufus probably died somehow. It's said that if you listen carefully, you can distinctly hear the sound of a dog barking in the distance instead of a wolf or coyote howling. The fox is also impossible to mistake for a domestic dog. Now, I suppose you could also speculate that it's meant to give you solace that Rufus is not dead but instead is somewhere out there still alive and just lost, however, this doesn't seem like solid logic to me. If the makers wanted you to feel okay about the status of Rufus after John's death, why basically take him out of the game? It's actually terribly sad that Jack ends up completely alone in the end. Anyway, with all that said, the sun does shine and I doubt any strange man appears, at least not doing what you've suggested. Please don't lie like that again in the future, least-wise on here.
