Mirtillo went to the zoo..

[tanza]

What super pictures.. and what fun….. No Zoo's here would let in dogs.. (unless service dogs)....

[BasenjiDiva]

Oh yeah….the hyenas definitely looked at Mirtillo as if he was on the menu to be a snack! In fact...change that picture to a cartoon drawing and it would look like it belonged in a Walt Disney movie...like the Lion King! You can almost imagine a dialogue. Good versus Evil! And...I think one of my dogs would be trying to shove its nose up the giraffe's nostril!

Enjoyed the pictures!

I was thinking the same thing :)

The hyenas think Mirtillo looks like a very tasty snack!
Thank you for sharing, those are really amazing photos, all the animals, including Mirtillo, seem to be very happy and relaxed and enjoying new smells.

I would love to visit your zoo.

Brilliant pictures:D

I love the one with the camel:D

You can't take them to the zoo in the UK either:(

[WBL]

Wonderful photos, those are also so great, I can't remember if any here in Germany allow any. My favs are the hyenas and the camels (OMG I love camels)

http://www.tierpark-nordhorn.de/ This is one in Germany that allows dogs. Maybe it's nearby..?

Really.. if you can't go to the zoo with your dogs.. you're really missing something! I invite you all to come to the Netherlands :D

This photo was taken a year ago in an other zoo. They have an amazing bassin for the polarbears. When they spotted Britt, they swam up to the glass to have a look.

Amazing pic´s my favourite is the one with the hyenas god I didn´t realize they were that big until you had Mirtillo infront of the them.Yep I definetly thought about the Lion King when I saw this pic.

[wizard]

Wow what great pictures. I especially liked the one with the camels.

Not only do our zoos not allow pets, even we couldn't get as close to some of the animals as you can.

He´s so brave your little boy!! Maybe he can learn Moja how to become a fighter.Who is his breeder?

[basenji_fan]

Wow, I heard things in Europe were different and you could take your pets with you all over, but I never thought the Zoo, that is great I wish the states were as pet friendly as the europeans seem to be

He really is brave.. maybe a bit too brave ;)

He comes from Asa Holmberg, Elegant Elephant.

Yeah.. seem to be.. It isn't all that great!

But going to the zoo with your doggy is :D

About Mirtillo being brave.. Look at this:

Crazy puppy :D

[seko]

I would be so frightened that the glass would break!

[Beckis]

I met Åsa in a few days ago! And his brothers! They were just adorable! So nice colours. And brave…One of them dissapered when we were out on a walk...

What a coincident! His brothers are lovely! Hahaha.. the three of them were very tiresome to watch :D They could play for hours. My bf and I felt very guilty to take Mirtillo away from them..

I hope you found the pup again after he disappeared! ;)
Mirtillo can't walk off leach that often… He disappears as well and I'm not sure he will return..

Tell Asa I said hi when you talk to her again!

[Beckis]

They found him after a while.
We have basenjiwalks once a month. Often in Gothenburg but this time we were in Varberg where I live. It was my first walk and it came 24 basenjis! Maybe other countries can do the same.

We also have them in the Netherlands. About three times a year. It's a great way to meet other basenjis and their owners :D
