A little scared, but intrigued

Did your friend find Cody at a Humane Society in southern California?
I was just wondering because I saw a beautiful red and white in Pasadena Ca and I was going to bring over a blanket and toys/treats for him but before I knew it he was adopted :-)
P.S. I love that movie Goodbye My Lady too! I know you all are going to hate me for sayin' this but it would be so cool if they did a remake I would go watch it like 10 million times! -
Cody was found at the Ramona Animal Haven in Hemet, s. Ca. He had just been turned in the day before my friend went there on some other errand and saw him.
I love the dog in Goodbye my Lady. She is such a natural actor! Anybody know her history? :)
Yes, I will try Cody out on a short trip to see if he is a good boy. I have so many books in my bookcases that are precious to me, and the furniture is important to me, too! But maybe he'll be OK with Jenny as his role model (hope it won't be the other way around if he's bad!). I'm looking forward to meeting and loving him.

My friend wrote that she took Cody to the vet this week. Here's what the vet found:
I took him to the vet on Monday and the doctor said Cody's right pupil was larger than the left one, which usually indicates a recent head trauma. He thought Cody may have been hit a glancing blow by a car or it could have been a result of abuse, though he doesn't act as though he's been abused. The vet said he's fine–no neurological damage or any other health issues. He said it also could be that he was born that way.
Is this a basenji trait, or something that happened?
-
Well unless someone takes him to an Ophthalmologist for a full eye exam, you will not know if this is something to be concerned about. A regular Vet can't really tell you that… and uneven pupils is not normal... and I would be very surprise if born that way..?? It is not a Basenji trait
I am a bit surprised that the Vet would say no neurological damage unless he was a specialist???

If you're going to leave him alone, even on a short trip, I would Basenji proof your house. If you leave things down he can reach he may shred them. And It may happen that one time-or even for a long time-he won't touch anything and then all of a sudden-BAM! Everything is confetti. As I said in another thread, nothing, and I mean nothing, is left on the floor, within reach, or within possible reach, in my house. Including shoes, things hanging on chairs, newspapers on tables, etc. And also remember-plastic is a food group!

Hi all, I googled the movie title and found the story of the dog in the movie from the magazine The Basenji's article. So fascinating, and I'm glad that My Lady stayed with Brandon de Wilde and lived a good life after the movie! Here is the link:
