Animal Hero is a basenji

Basenji Talk
  • Every day I try to remember to go to the animal rescue site to "click and give". Today I noticed that their animal hero nominee is a basenji in South Africa who alerted the owner to the presence of a large snake and herded the rest of the dogs out of the area. My two would be arguing over who was going to herd whom and the snake would leave out of frustration.

    If you go to the site, notice the basenji in the background and what an interesting white marking it has.

  • Good b!! Thanks for sharing.

  • Wow, I click there every day but didn't even notice the Hero story. Thanks!

  • Too awesome, thanks for reminding me to click more often. I am proud of our breed and loved the story of the Basenji, he is such a hero!!!

  • Just last week I decided to sign up for the daily email reminders to click. Now I remember to click, but I missed this story too. I also got the cutest purple paw print pin free (minimal shipping charge).

  • I didn't know you could get email reminders, I am going to do that as soon as I get off of the Forums!!!

    Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

    @weedtrek Possibly Basenji mix, nose looks a bit wider and the eyes are less oval. Could well be a Basenji mix though.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    I have found that if I take my B to doggie daycare (even if it's only for half a day), she is ehausted when I bring her home. She will let me do the dishes without any basenji help! She also tends to treat our doggie friends a little nicer when they come around. Having a worn out basenji is deifinitely worth the $15!!

    You can check the Animal Planet web site, they have a small clip of it you can look at, I just looked. I haven't been able to find it for sale yet.
