Robyn, they knew there was a creature out there that even stalked a child. Having the dog with them, off leash, out at dusk was a foolish risk in my opinion. It says she thought the dog was sniffing around– so not sure if that meant she wasn't even watching the dog and thought it was just checking things out (stupid) OR the dog seemed to be scenting something (STILL STUPID) and she stayed. And yeah, she should have had a gun just to protect even herself. It was an unnecessary risk.
Basenji Shiba mix: Does anyone think that my dog might be that?

A Shiba Inu looks a lot like Basenji with a fluffy coat and wider head. The behavior is also similar. Because of the floppy ears, which you wouldn't normally see on either a Shibu or a Basenji, I'd say not a Basenji mix. That's just a guess. If it matters a DNA test doesn't cost a lot and is going to be more accurate than anyone's guess.

To be entirely honest, I can't see either Basenji or Shiba in this little dog. Does it matter though ? Just love her to distraction !
