I live in AL, not near Abbeville, but I've got friends/family all over. I'll post it on Facebook and email an Alabama pet lost/found group that was established after the April 27th tornados.

Dear Patty M
My heart skipped a couple of beats when I saw this picture. I wanted it to be him - sadly it is not - but so close -so very close.
I want to thank you so much for watching out of him and for calling my son last night. We are still heartbroken yet hopeful that he will be found. We miss that little guy terribly.
Thanks again.

UPDATE DEXTER IS ALIVE! July 13 @9.30 am
Just got a call from a fisherman in an airboat who is currently tracking him thru the brush in Port OConnor TX. He swam across the water and is running along a high deer fence. (I don't know whether I am happy I taught him to swim at this point or not.) He has survived the brush, rattle snakes, coyotes and 115 degree heat 13 days. Please pray for us that we get him back in our arms quickly and safely. -
Prayers going out to you and Dexter. PLEASE keep us posted!
-
Thank You Bewler. Patiently waiting for for the phone call - it's a 3 hour drive to that area plus travel in an airboat. My heart is pounding. I will keep you updated. This is an unbelieveable story! 13 days - 115 degree heat - 20 pounds - wow!!!!!!
-
i hope everything turns out well and he gets home safely! good luck!

AND - he managed to travel 3 hours away! What a story your boy could tell when you get him back - and we are all sending prayers and good wishes that you DO get him back!! I think I can presume to speak for a lot of folks here when I say that you will all be in our thoughts today.

Hoping he is caught and back with you. Its amazing the things they can survive. I had a friend who lost her whippet in NY and it was picked up by a fisherman out to sea and brought to NJ for rehab, reuinted with her weeks after becoming lost.
-
Waiting for good news!
-
We are all sending you positive vibes!!! I hope hope hope you get great news soon. Let us know
-
My heart is pounding, too! Hoping to hear good news soon.
-
Very exciting news! Dogs are survivors and can make it through some tough situations.
-
C'mon Dexter, come home!!!

Hope you have him soon, I lost 2 for a full day once, one blind girl, who stayed right next to the sightned boy. Found them curled up on feed sacks in a stroage building. So prayers do get answered. Keep us posted.

Keep the faith, Lorraine!
Basenjis have wonderful survival skills, and until he's actually snuggled under your covers… keep the networking going. Re-post your Craig's List ad, post on the FB Basenji Rescue page, and here, too. There are a lot of happy stories within this forum, where basenjis have run away and have been found weeks later. Greg lost Bunny for 7 days in December, during one of the worst blizzards in Connecticut. The string is located here... with a happy ending. http://www.basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?t=10398
There is also Binta in Titusville, FL, who escaped when her owner was in the hospital. She was recently found- after 5 months!
http://www.basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?t=10834Hope and positive baroos to your family and Dexter.

I hope you aren't posting because you are busy snuggling Dexter!!!!
You are in our thoughts and prayers!!!!!:):):)

oh my …I just read this and started balling...I so pray you will be with him soon, if not already...I can only hope for an awesome outcome...sending best wishes and the most positive vibes I can muster..
Keep us posted..

Hope you find the little guy safe! The ninja hunter in him will keep him safe, I also hope you haven't been posting an update because your too busy playing with him like crazy
-
Is everyone else on pins and needles about this poor little guy? Has anyone heard anything - did they find him yet?
-
Thank you. My son went to all the shelters in Port Lavaca and Victoria etc - no luck - we have called and faxed many shelters and Vets Dexter's picture with in a 150 mile radius of Houston and Port Oconnor. After conducting a 4 day search on foot and car we are fairly sure someone must have him. I think they will not like him too much after he tears up all their toilet paper rolls! Hopefully someone will see him somewhere soon!
I just have to say this again as I did not see my post to this thread. I HOPE HE TEARS UP THE TOILET PAPER AND MORE! Maybe the people who have him will take him to a shelter so you will be reunited. HOPE SO! If not, my heart goes out to you, grieve if you have to, but dogs will adjust to any environment (this is intended to help your pain of loss) and if you do not get him back to your home and heart, keep in mind his love for you, what you did for him etc., but his desire to survive will sustain him. (I really hope he tears up the toilet paper daily….!)
