I dont know in terms of distance but mine usually go at least an hour and have gone 2 or more if its cool. I think they would walk all day if I had the time because they never want to go back home though once we get home they will plop down and go to sleep like they are exhausted. Gee mom is just so mean for dragging them all over the neighborhood and keeping them away from their sleep. As was mentioned chief being tri (9 months) feels the heat more than my r/w zoe but now that the days are cooler he keeps up with her fine.

nice story AND Pen is Zest's littermate.

Great find.

Wow, I hadn't even thought about animals being stuck in Europe. Here's hoping they all make it back/to their homes.

Small world! How cool to read about Zest's brother in the WSJ !
Dr. Wolf, of Air Animal, used to be the only vet in Tampa open on late Saturday and we took our first basenji to him many years ago, before he started Air Animal.
I would have had to drive across the alps too if one of mine was stranded, I'm sure we all would! -
yea, i sometimes go to google news and type in "basenji" just to see what comes up. I did that last night and this article came up, but it was late and i didn't read it then, figuring I'd save it for the morning. Before I got around to reading it today, I saw where Peg Grundman emailed the same link to me with a note saying Zest's littermate was Pen, the basenji in the attached article. I had no idea. Like Kipawa I'd never thought about the animals being stranded due to flight problems.

How random…Basenjis and volcanos. Thanks for sharing.
