Jennifer, I meant Pam the breeder here in MA… I figured this might be one of her boys because of proximity to each other... If this is an Eldorado boy then Pam will definitely want to intervene and get the dog back. I emailed her the link and she will deal with it if it's one of hers.
Not a Basenji but a dog that should have been rescued

Did a search and didn't see anything. Sad happening here in Wisconsin. If you are on Facebook or do a Google on "Justice for Mary the dog". you might really have a problem with this young women. I rescured a three legged Basenji mix last Jan that had been shot a couple time and hit by a car, great mix with the "B" I have. There are several petition out there.

Stories like this deeply depress me

Reading the story in the first link, I didn't look at the others after that, literally made me nauseous. It's hard to imagine a person could do that to any living creature and I hate the fact that animal abuse laws have not been updated and therefore do not give out as harsh of punishments as they should.
